Alright, so since I’ve fully given into my self-indulgent desire to be introspective (it’s the liberal way), I’m going to join a conversation that in ongoing. The American Prospect is calling it “the elevator pitch.” It’s what they have and we don’t. The GOP’s elevator pitch:

“We believe in freedom and liberty, and we’re for low taxes, less government, traditional values, and a strong national defense.”

Twenty words; broad strokes but specific to ideology. One sentence. So clean and crisp you could pitch in an elevator trip. I want one. We need one! Anyone have an ideas? I’m going to think about it and get back to you…

PS: For me, this is what the DNC race is about. It is not about ideology as so many in the news media as well as the wussy Dems have made it out to be. I don’t want Dean because he’s a liberal (he’s actually not). I want Dean because I think he can/will articulate a crisp umbrella message that is inclusive of all wings of the party while articulating the basic premises of our ideology.
