During CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, the other three talking heads were discussing the usual yada yada yada.
Now I certainly don't always agree with James Carville - or his style - but in the final 20 seconds he defined the whole discussion with the following couple of paragraphs: (see under fold)...
"By every economic measure known to man, Democratic Presidents have out-performed Republican Presidents. And by the way if you believe the economy was better under George W Bush than Bill Clinton you’ve got a real clear choice here.
"If you think what America needs is a tax cut for people making over half-a-million dollars a year then vote for McCain. If you think middle-class people are struggling – that their incomes are going down and they need help – vote for Obama. It’s a very simple choice".

It's this kind of straight-talking re the big issues (and it seems once again 'It's the economy, stupid' that could deliver Obama a landslide).
And now that Palin has made it clear she intends to behave like a pit-bull with rabies combined with a mad-as-hell bucking bull (with listick), she's basically promising to play her part in 4 more years of partisan gridlock if victorious.
I believe the DEMS must keep hammering-home not only the big issues, but also constantly explain in simple English (like Carville above) how they are going to get them implemented.
