Because Bush and his allies have failed, our fellow citizens are ready to consider the progressive message. But what is it? In simple terms that all Americans understand, what do we stand for? Try using this 12-word answer. Then join our continuing debate on how to take advantage of "the progressive moment." - July 31, 2008 - 2:46pm
As we fight over individual issues in this election season, let’s not lose sight of the big picture. Unlike partisans, persuadable voters are not much interested in candidates’ specific issue positions. Issues don’t matter to them unless they are illustrative of a larger theme. Barack Obama has already telegraphed the only theme that John McCain can employ. What's the winning theme we can use?

Liberals, lefties, Democrats, environmentalists, unionists, consumer advocates—all progressive types—suffer from the stereotype that we are unpatriotic. Let’s make it clear to all Americans that we progressives are the ones trying to lead our country closer to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. - June 15, 2008 - 8:40pm
When the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right of habeas corpus for prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, progressives missed an opportunity to present the issue within the strongest possible message frame. After years of warrantless wiretapping, illegal imprisonment and torture, we should all be saying the F-word with regularity.

A large group of Americans favor both progressive policy and conservative philosophy. As a result, they can be persuaded to side with either progressives or conservatives, depending on how a political question is framed. The "Making Sense 2008" project is producing and distributing research-based talking points on a variety of issues that can be used to reach these persuadable voters.. - May 4, 2008 - 11:11pm
If elected, John McCain would be the oldest person ever elevated to president. Voters are fully aware of McCain’s advanced age, and they generally consider advanced age to be a perfectly legitimate issue. So shouldn’t progressives talk about it?

John McCain will be spending the week promoting his health care scheme. The crux of the plan is to abolish employer-based health insurance and throw middle-class, working Americans to the wolves. It is market fundamentalism at its worst. As conservatives attempt to rally support for this plan, how do we talk about health care in ways that will help progressives win the debate?
