No bedwetting

While the media is ginning up a fake narrative, portraying his return as some panic stricken response by the White House, which I don't think is true, it's still good to see David Plouffe take a public face for Obama again. He pens a good op-ed worth reading in full, but this is the take-away point for the Dems:

* No bed-wetting. This will be a tough election for our party and for many Republican incumbents as well. Instead of fearing what may happen, let's prove that we have more than just the brains to govern -- that we have the guts to govern. Let's fight like hell, not because we want to preserve our status, but because we sincerely believe too many everyday Americans will continue to lose if Republicans and special interests win.

It's so simple and the only solution that can save the Democrats in the long term. This was the mandate they were given when the people gave them the majority they claimed they needed in order to "change DC." The desire for bipartisanship is a fantasy of The Village. What the average voter wants to see is a righteous smackdown of the people and policies that got us into this mess. They might want to try that while they still have the power to do it.
