Listening to Rush Limbaugh while driving home for lunch and heard him give helpful advice to Howard Dean (who Rush playfully calls "Nikita Dean.") His advice; play up your conservatism. I have a feeling that Rush will be very, very helpful to Republicans over the next year. And I suspect his help will consist of suggesting that the Democrats abaondon liberalism and move to conservativism.
I mean, wouldn't it be great if, when Americans step into the voting booth in November of 2004, there were two Coservative Candidates? President George W. Bush, hero to us all, and Howard Dean, who is just about as Conservative but not quite. Then the American people would have a real choice.
Still, if people have the choice between a Republican and a Democrat trying to be a Republican, won't they just vote for the Republican? Particularly since most analysts have concluded that the victor of this election will go to the candidate who mobilizes his base the best. I don't think adopting conservativism is the best way to motivate the Democrat Party Base.
Oh and if anybody wants my advice, just let me quote Harry S. Truman. "Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything."
