Assuming the Democrats are in trouble in Nov, what can they do to make it a landslide?

Poll question: Assuming the Democrats are in trouble in Nov, what can they do to make it a landslide?

For Democrats not Republicans of course.

I'm posting this as a poll, but I'd like to hear specific policy proposals.

[rrneck]

1. Dig a large hole.

Put corporate personhood in it. Cover it with concrete.

[yurbud]

3. and some corporate persons

[Taverner]

2. Magically reduce unemployment to 5%

[yurbud]

4. more likely to happen progressively or conservatively?

[Taverner]

8. Progressively, but I don't see it happening on either side

Not with the GOP hell bent on making us all poor and with the Dems hell bent on looking like Republicans

[rucky]

5. Create a couple million jobs. n/t

[DainBramaged]

6. I hate to be the voice of reason here, but if enough of US go out and vote, along with the clear

thinking independents, we will have a landslide. This propaganda FAUX and the Teabaggers and the rest of the MSM is only affecting us and the pundits. I asked a neighbor what was going on and his answer was, just trying to keep his head above water. I then tried to see if he knows who the governor of NJ is and he still thinks it's Florio, who has been gone for over a decade.


People outside the box don't give a shit about politics.

7. the voters? not vote. Its entirely up to the voters not the politicians

[old mark]

9. First, the republicans ARE stupid and probably dangerous. I think Obama

laid some of the groundwork in the last few days, especially today, by talking about the GOP as the enemy of working and small business people. He is right, he just needs to really get on that horse and flog it till November. If the GOP continues to block the jobs bill, they will take a lot of heat. If it passes, the GOP will look bad for opposing it. IF the Democrats can start to act angry at the republican obstructionism, and IF the media will spin that story effectively, we will swamp them again.


Oh, yeah, and we all have to vote.... sorry.

11. Reid needs to FORCE republicans to filibuster.

It's s joke how Reid never forces republicans to actually filibuster. If he forced them to filibuster against a jobs bill republicans would be exposed as the enemy they are to the people. Unfortunately, I don't think Reid could run a hot dog stand, let alone the senate.

[Better Believe It]

12. We can't do that. That would make Republicans angry.

[AnArmyVeteran]

13. Yeah, sorry. The last thing Reid would do is make republicans angry.

Reid is a former boxer but I wonder if he ever won a fight. I don't see how.

10. Nothing is going to make it a landslide--but they can hold back GOP gains

the out party normally does gain seats in the off year election--the hope is that the Dems hold losses down and retain both the senate and the house.

[damntexdem]

14. Well, it was a toughie, but I went for little-as-possible.

Although I probably should have hung out for 'other-cave-to-the-GOP-on-every-issue-possible.

[IndianaGreen]

15. Too late!

Jobs was the primary issue in 2009, and it is still the primary issue in 2010.

Bailing out Wall Street and giving a Xmas gift to the health insurance industry was more important than a New Deal type jobs program.

Do something big in an unapologetic, uncompromisingly progressive way that makes Republicans look dangerous, stupid, or both

The Obama Administration does not have the ability or the inclination to do the first choice in your poll.
