STRATEGY: Campaign on Your Future Scandal!

Recently, there have been a lot of recommendations by the various members of the Democratic intelligentsia (aka the DLC) on how the Party of the People can recapture the legislature and win White House. As well-intended and self-less as these 64-page reports might be, it's time for a newer, dare I say, bolder approach.

You can talk about moving to the center, whatever that means, but electorally speaking, you're like a shoe salesman with a comb-over, who thinks he's a stud, trying to sell sensible shoes to a forty year old soccer mom and wondering what the best line is to get her to join you for dinner with you at Applebee's.

And this is the beauty of scandals: they keep the news going far into the night. The cherry-red F-Me pumps of politics, they remind us that there is more to life than White House leaks and agricultural subsidies. Now with a 24 hour news cycle, scandals go the distance. In the words of the immortal Boss, they can "prove it all night." Besides they're inevitable.
