...while the pair is following the lead of Karl Rove, the GOP strategist who often hand-picks which congressional candidates will run, they haven?t yet shown they can match his effectiveness. In Rhode Island, Schumer wanted another popular pro-life Democrat, James Langevin, to run, but Langevin passed on the Senate race after abortion rights groups sharply objected. Schumer has been one of the leaders in crafting the party's strategy on judicial nominations, but Senate Democrats put on one of the most feeble challenges of a Supreme Court nominee in recent memory during the Alito hearings...
...More than anything, each man has the challenge of trying to market a party that is still struggling to find a unified, winning message. The Dems' leaders are divided on Iraq, haven?t agreed on what policy ideas they will offer in the fall and haven?t yet figured out how to convince Americans they?re as tough as the GOP on terrorism, which Rove said last week will again be the key issue for the GOP come November.

They're counting on that, because if seniors haven't forgotten the initial nightmares of the drug plan by November's midterm elections, Republicans could end up feeling much of their pain...
...just too easy, that if women tried harder to understand men, they'd realize that men too are trapped by patriarchal prejudices in their own way. "I think men have been sort of forced to learn women's language, through the feminist movement," she says, "but women haven't seemed to evince a curiosity in learning men's language. Men have ways of communicating that women don't understand. And we think, because it's not our way, that nothing is being said." Ned would probably agree. Even though he's way too manly...
