Reply #8: I think we are still the minority.

[BillZBubb]

Only 33% approve of Bush, but given the choice of McCain versus any Democrat, a majority of the public would vote for McCain.

The public hasn't repudiated the right wing agenda yet--just its titular head.

The corporate media is a huge problem for us. They present Repug lies and propaganda without contesting a bit of it.

But our biggest problem is our own lack of leadership and unity. Every time the Democrats get an issue they can move forward on aggressively they cower, or a few Democrats go public with their support of the other side and shoot down all our momentum. If we presented the public with a unified party willing to fight for everything we say we believe in--and I mean FIGHT--we would be the majority party. Until that day, we'll get some bounce from the fact that they Repugs are screwing up everything. But that advantage won't last.
