LANDSLIDE REVISITED....Republicans are in a death spiral:
Democrats now outdistance Republicans on every single issue that could decide voters’ choices come Nov. 7. In addition to winning — for the first time in the Newsweek poll — on the question of which party is more trusted to fight the war on terror (44 to 37 percent) and moral values (42 percent to 36 percent), the Democrats now inspire more trust than the GOP on handling Iraq (47 to 34); the economy (53 to 31); health care (57 to 24); federal spending and the deficit (53 to 29); gas and oil prices (56 to 23); and immigration (43 to 34).
How should Democrats take advantage of this? I boiled down my advice to 200 words for the New York Times two months ago, but it just got printed today. I think it holds up pretty well.—
