The Dem convention was exactly what it needed to be: positive, on message, focused. And just after Labor Day, the new message rolled out is "'W' Stands For 'Wrong'". There's your sound bite: negativity and name-calling in one package. Ugh.

A positive message is simply not in the DNA of the Democratic Party in 2004. They are too pissed right now. The problem is that it's inward-focused, self-indulgent, and unproductive. Wouldn't you think that every single drop of anti-Bush sentiment would have been wrung out by now? Aren't the people desperate for a strong positive message reflecting a stable position, demonstrating strong leadership?
