Forum Overview :: ELECTION WATCH 2008 :: The Republican Party is winning the long-term for 3 reasons:

[quote name="whydirt"]1. Running well-oiled year-round campaigns. Turning an entire term into the re-election campaign is smart marketing. 2. Lowering taxes, or more specifically making sure that people know that <i>they</i> are the party for lower taxes. 3. Jesus. The Democrats need to co-opt #1 and either #2 or #3 if they want to have a chance at fighting for the government majority. Kerry tried and failed at point #2 by talking about taxing the rich and keeping the cuts for the middle class. Class Warfare is so 1990s.[/quote]
