Hoyer: Democrats To Campaign Like It's Still 2006
As IBD's own poll showed today, the forecast for the fall election is looking plenty grim for the Democrats. Things have gotten so bad that even the White House has acknowledged they could lose control of the House.

Other Democrats are not so worried though. They have a cunning plan that will carry them through: Attack George W. Bush. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., explained it to reporters today:
Do I think there are ... enough seats in play? Probably close. The fact that they are in play does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that I think we are going to lose the House. I don't think we are going to lose the House ...

The American public, I think, over the next few months is going to focus on whether they want to go back to the failed policies of Bush and the Republican Congress, which had such a disastrous result during the first 8 years of this decade, actually the first 10 years ... .

I think the American public, hopefully, are going to reflect on that. We are certainly going to be talking about that. I am going to be talking about that.
So they are not going to highlight their record or achievements. They are going to attack somebody who left the White House years ago and isn't on the ballot anywhere. That's not a model for success.

#2 Attack George W. Bush. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer

I think the voters get this charade after two years of being hammered with this lame excuse. The donks have had control of Congress since 2006. I hope the demonrats do parade out this tired old reason for their failure. It ain't going to fly or for that matter get off the ground.

#4 There's just a lot to attack Bush on: his evil concentration camp at Guantanamo, troops engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan, a $400 billion deficit, slow response to disasters....oops.
