1. Remind folks that you were the original anti-Bush Republican. Let's face it, fair or not, George W. Bush is dragging you down. You're really not getting much benefit out of your epic struggle with him eight years ago (people have short memories). I think it's time to remind folks of the donnybrook over direction of the party that went on in 2000. I know, you've "sort of" been doing that -- but it has to be more than a pro forma effort if you expect the hoi polloi to notice it. Of course, it might not be tasteful for you to do this, personally -- but surrogates could certainly help remind voters what happened eight short years ago. This, of course, is dangerous business, inasmuch as there is a danger in alienating the conservative base. Still, I think it has to be done. So dig up some videos like this one, and make sure they get out there ...
