Memo to Democrats

ILLUSTRATED: The path onward and upward.

TO: National Democrats
RE: The way forward

The storm has passed. Last night was our worst night, and it was and will be their best night for some time.

1. The biggest political fight in the next 18 months will be within the GOP. Thus any generic polling before the spring of 2012 is worthless.

2. The Great Lakes region is where Obama and Biden need to spend their time doing town halls explaining the benefits of their programs. We also need to recruit solid House candidates. That is the key region we need to swing back.

3. The West Coast and Northeast held. This was not a wipe out.

4. California passed some very far reaching political reforms and kept its energy policy. Recruit good candidates there to capitalize politically on the rebirth there.
