The Romney Rule



If this ad by the Democratic Priorities USA PAC is a preview of the framing of 2012, then clearly we can expect a campaign that foregrounds our dangerously unhealthy wealth concentration, conspicuously unfair regressive taxes, and dysfunctional corrupt plutocracy as much as 2008's campaign foregrounded Iraq. This is a good thing. I strongly believe that the Democratic Party needs fully to remember and embrace its legacy as the Party of People Who Work for a Living, a phrase that nicely complements (without appropriating or being saddled by) the Occupiers' resonant "We Are the 99%".
