Rachel Maddow has been discussing on her show lately that the Beltway narrative is that Democrats can only play offense this year, that they cannot run on their on beliefs but instead shield them and then just hit republicans for their beliefs.  But as the clips shows some Democrats are running on their beliefs such as being pro-choice.  With so many tea party candidates with very extreme views I think she is right and that Democrats should run on what they stand for because they can show that there is a clear difference between the candidates.  I think one of the biggest problems for democrats this year is their horrible horrible communication strategy.  Not many Americans no that Obama lower taxes or that this has been one of the most accomplished Congress' in a very long time.  They have not communicated the Health Care bill well at all and many Americans still don't know the many benefits that are in it.  The only way Democrats can lessen the damage this November is to get out there and tout their accomplishments and make it known to Americans that almost all of those accomplishments were without the Republicans.
