5. I've got a few talking points for the press:

Regarding Repugs:

"deficit"
"2,500 troops killed"
"no bid contracts"
"billions missing"
"CIA agents outed for political purposes"
"cronyism"
"lobbyists"
"Abramoff"
"Cunningham"
"Ney"
"Frist the cat killer"
"spying"
"eavesdropping"
"DeLay"
"Hurricane Katrina"
"New Orleans"
"Dubai ports deal"
"Cindy Sheehan"
"Katherine Harris"
"outsourcing"

That should keep them busy for a while. There are lots more.

Regarding the Democratic message:

"hope"
"fiscal responsibility"
"rebuilding America's job base"
"bringing the troops home"
"ending the illegal war in Iraq"
"health care"
"social security for all when they retire"
"putting America first"
"a fair tax plan"
"incentives for American business to grow jobs here"
"stop selling America to foreign governments"
"holding Repugs responsible for their actions"
"stopping the spying of innocent American citizens"
"protecting the environment"
"restoring integrity"
"restoring America's standing around the world"

Of course, accuracy and honesty are not descriptive terms for today's media.
