There's a lot to chew on in the article -- the new Democratic majority may not have delivered as much as hoped for, but it doesn't really matter. On every issue voters prefer Democrats over Republicans.
...the biggest factor working in the Democrats' favor continues to be that they are not the Republicans.
The GOP is still reeling from the steep drop-off in public confidence that hurt the party so deeply last November - a result of the waning public support for the Iraq War, economic uncertainties, ethics controversies and other problems that concomitantly turned Bush into one of the most unpopular presidents of modern times.
If I was running for office I would constantly, repeatedly and incessantly remind voters I am a Democrat running against a Republican. If ever there was a time to whole-heartedly embrace the Democratic Party brand, this is the election cycle to do it.
