A New Democrat Battle Plan

From and Reed begin by emphasizing how high the stakes are for
the country in 2004. "The 2004 isn't just a choice between two
parties; it's a choice between two centuries. The outcome will
tell us whether the 21st century will be another American
Century, blessed with broad prosperity and an expanding middle
class at home, and the projection of American strength and
democratic values abroad. Or it will tell us we're returning to
an America of privilege and exploitation like the latter part of
the 19th century."

The battle plan for keeping America moving ahead is based on some
advice former President Bill Clinton offered at a recent DLC
gathering for how to beat an incumbent president -- as he did in
1992: "This is not rocket science. In 1992, I said: 'Look, I'll
have a strong America, we'll represent your values, we'll be
strong on crime, we'll be for preparing work over welfare. By the
way, we'll bring the American economy back, we'll do it in a way
that preserves the environment, we'll move more poor people into
the middle class.' The message was, we'll give you what you like
about the other guys, and we'll give you the things that they
won't give you."

"The key to victory," conclude From and Reed, "is to keep those
angry Democrats energized and to appeal to swing voters --
moderates, independents, and even some Republicans -- who like
President Bush but could be convinced to replace him with a
Democrat."
