Democrats claim political victory from CPAC

[DearAbby]

Democrats and President Obama gathered the most momentum from this past weekend's gathering of conservative activists, the party claimed Monday.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sought to spin the now-concluded Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in their own favor, releasing a web video framing the Republicans who spoke at CPAC -- including a number of possible presidential candidates -- as focused on issues from the past.

"The biggest winners coming out of CPAC were Democrats and the president, as it is clear, based on the presentations there, that Republicans have no message and nothing to offer the public accept re-fighting the political and legislative battles - battles they have already lost," DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse wrote in an email about the new video.

CPAC, the annual gathering of conservatives in Washington, is typically seen as a moment for the GOP's grassroots to organize, and for the party's elected leaders to impress would-be voters.

3. Hopefully

the people doing oppo research on the Democratic side for the upcoming 2012 campaign are preparing some juicy video packages of all of the potential GOP candidates whom spoke there.

Now, for those people whom believe there are no tangible differences between the Republican and Democratic parties, please tell me which Democratic officeholders and/or activists (even DLC-ers) would've made identical/similar speeches? :shrug:

5. That's kinda like claiming the State Home for the Criminally Insane as a victory

I prefer bigger more decisive victories than Hey! Look! There's a bunch of wackos all gathered together over there
