Axelrod To GOP: "Make My Day"

Posted by MICHAEL SCHERER Sunday, March 14, 2010

David Axelrod is responsible for crafting the master narrative that can most minimize Democratic losses this fall. His plan, as it is currently formulated, depends on Democrats getting off playing defense on process, and mounting a full scale attack on health policy if a bill is passed. Karen posted the PowerPoint (below) yesterday. Here is that PowerPoint in action:

If the Republican Party wants to go out and say to that child who now has insurance or say to that small business that will get tax credits this year if he signs the bill to help their employees get -- get health care, if they want to say to them, you know what, we're actually going to take that away from you and we don't think that's such a good idea, I say let's have that fight, make my day. I'm ready to have that and every Member of Congress ought to be willing to have that debate as well.

3. In other words:

Once this thing passes, we're probably fucked because it's so unpopular with the people, so you better get out there and sell this lemon like it's a pot of pure gold!

4. I like the bullet points. That is the way to sell this plan. As simple as possible and hope against

hope the MSM picks it up.
