24. but will the TV show you?
Republicans get air time, Dems if their lucky get a chance at a he said, she said talking head argument. 0 Teabaggers show up at a rally gets airtime, 100,000 liberals marching does not. Dems need to get their message out yes. But they can't simply rely on the TV to do it. They need more than ever their president to take air time, to get their asses into their districts, to build that grass roots thing Obama built in 2008. Hell to get their wealthy members to buy newspapers, websites, radio stations and TV stations.

I'm all happy the leader of the Senate told everyone the obvious. But sans Rachel Maddow no one is going to carry this argument. The Dems need to get way more aggressive and way more active. As Wisconsin shows, the people are certainly waiting for active leadership. They are pissed!
