Dems test new slogan
By Josephine Hearn
House Democratic leaders are holding a closed-door meeting with members of their caucus this afternoon to discuss a new slogan for the 2006 midterm elections: "Together, We Can Do Better" or "Together, America Can Do Better," according to Democratic sources.
Although aides say the slogan has yet to be finalized and is still up for debate, it has already been in frequent use by Democratic leaders on both sides of the Capitol for several weeks.

And, according to The Hill, they've narrowed it down to two: "Together, We Can Do Better" or "Together, America Can Do Better." Both are an improvement on the initial thesis -- one that they've been "previewing" since, oh, 2004 -- "America Can Do Better." See, without the "together" how is one to know the way by which we can do better? No wonder they lost last time.
The Hill reports that "The message project considered 'dozens' of potential slogans," before settling on the "do better" strategy. Rejected slogans included, we hear, "You Could Do Worse," "It's Not Like There's a Third Party," and "Sorry About that Kerry Thing."
