It looks like Dems are picking up on the incompetence strategy. Now if only they'd pick up on climate change as some smart British pols are doing and they'll have a real strategy for success. There is also talk of using stem cells to divide the GOP but this is a bad idea. Not only is it likely to be unnecessary given stunning advances in developing ES-like lines. Even though I'm still only convinced of the efficacy of embryonic stem cells and unimpressed with most adult stem cell research, this is just another debate over life, and as such will lead to irrationality and anger against dems. Stick to the things we all hate, like incompetence, waste, pollution, gas prices, and lying.

Bush is at a new low. The ES-cell debate is handing him an issue he can rile up his base over, don't give him the chance.
