Issues, Issues, Issues

Listening to npr 'left, right, and center' on my way to work left me feeling tremendous despair

arriana huffington correctly notes that dems MUST lay off Palin and shift voters' focus back to the issues, especially the economy, but also international and defense issues

she also lamented O's choice to appear on O'Reilly and to say the surge worked....this was a mistake I fear; huffington states that O's saying this has moved the debate onto mccain's terrain, allows McCain to reduce the invasion to a single issue, the surge, and grants that mccain was correct on the surge. such a mistake!

anyway, folks, don't let dems fall into the trap of continuing to draw attention to palin---don't let this be about personalities

dems have to get back on track and focus on the issues

We should have started Tuesday.

2. Dems are not talking about Palin - Dem supporters are.

...no elected Democrats, Obama, etc. are talking about Palin's personal life, that is. They're talking about policy/issue, and ideological differences.

Us DUers and other Dem supporters are yapping it up about Palin and the scandals etc.

But I have not yet heard an elected Democrat, a surrogate, or a Dem candidate talking about her personal life or the scandals - only the issues - and there are plenty of those.

Mostly they're saying that any talk of the issues facing Americans was totally absent from the RNC - or that's what I've heard.
