I hear you’re looking for an incredibly succinct summary of the Democratic party’s message. I present to you the ’08 Democratic Platform in 10 words:

  • Out of Iraq
  • Universal Health Care
  • Global Warming’s a Problem

You can replace “Global Warming” with “Poverty” if it polls better. Run this by Joe and Eileen and see what they think. Sincerely, Nicholas.
