Quick thought: I'm hoping someone at DNC/DCCC/DSCC, House Dem Caucus, or Senate Dem Caucus is taking notes on tactics used by their esteemed GOP opponents in the fight for health insurance reform. The tactics - powerful re-labeling (e.g. "death panels"), pure obstructionism, decrying use of standard parliamentary rules (e.g., "nuclear option", "no one ever uses reconciliation") have been extremely effective... oh - I almost forgot: bald-faced lying is among the extremely effective tactics.
My hope is that, when the Dems next find themselves in the minority, they dig up these old notes AND USE THEM!
(Come to think of it, even when they're in the MAJORITY, Dems might want to consider adopting some of these tactics!)
