Finding the democratic voice

Jim Wallis has an interesting column in the New York Times today. He offers advice to the Democratic Party about finding its voice and finding a way to resonate with American voters.

It's not the sound bite, it's the message, he says. And Democrats cannot let Republicans claim to be the party of values and faith.

"... first, you must get your message straight. What are your best ideas, and what are you for-as opposed to what you're against in the other party's message? Only when you answer those questions can you figure out how to present your message to the American people."
