| In one of his first moves as top Democrat in the Senate, incoming Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is consolidating staff operations under his control while establishing a press operation that is planning more aggressive attacks on Republicans.
Reid “understands we’ve had a problem communicating our position to the American people, and he’s tired of having us defined by the other side,” said David DiMartino, press secretary to Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). Reid plans to have as many as 15 staffers to join the communications center. As many as five of them might be new hires, a reflection of the emphasis Reid is placing on developing a unified message. “The caucus sees the need to be more disciplined,” said one Senate Democratic aide. “Hopefully they will be.” |
Unless the Dems can reorganize themselves as a true party of opposition, there's no hope for 2006. Or 2008.
And yes, more on THAT later too...
Back to school...
