Democrats are obsessed with visions, messages, programs and narratives.
The party's leaders, thinkers and consultants have held a slew of
meetings and are said to be close to a statement of hopes and
principles. They are determined to apply the tactical lessons Newt
Gingrich taught when he offered a Contract With America in 1994. There
is a collective rush to the nearest thesaurus as Democrats consider a
Compact With America and a Covenant With America. A Bargain or even a
Concordat can't be far behind. Personally, I'm still fond of the word
Deal (as in "Square," "New" and "Fair"), but I guess that word is just
too 20th century.

After President Bush's disastrous visit to Latin America, it's
unnerving to realize that his presidency still has more than three
years to run.

The Democrats biggest problem is none of them know what it means to be a
Democrat. The Republicans have branded themselves well (if completely
inaccurately), and are a long way towards branding Democrats as anti-God
big spenders.
