(93,469 posts)... in proving we need better messaging / feedback and messaging distribution infrastructure, something I've been advocating for 1.5 years.
When I heard people I respect blame down ballot losses on DTP I pulled the short amount of hair I do have out of my head knowing 90% it was dem messaging that lost those winnable races.
The Republicans messaging infrastructure includes heat mapping political forums something dem consultants stay away from like its the plague.
This allows them to float concepts and get feedback within HOURS that's how they knew DTP could draw out their voters.
Also, dem consultants dismiss Obama branding as a once in a lifetime deal where it should be the STANDARD going forward.
I do agree with the SENTIMENT of DTP but not the concept, but the thing that lights me up is the overwhelming dismissal that we need the Obama 08 standard every election to defeat the GQP ability to just make shit up about us.
The poster who mentioned your misquoting handled that issue.
I go on to point out to that poster that their own data states ***MOST*** democratic voters said the democratic agenda was vague. That's not too far away from dems having lack of branding or lack of messaging.
