Democrats are working on a new slogan, and … they can’t decide what it is. From The Hill:

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.

… The catchphrase is not new to political observers, who will remember that an earlier reincarnation, “America Can Do Better,” was a slogan in the campaign of presidential aspirant Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), although his main theme was “A Stronger America.”

“America Can Do Better,” which lacks the word “Together,” has also been in frequent rotation this fall. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) used it on “Fox News Sunday” on Oct. 16. Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) incorporated it in her in Oct. 8 radio address, as did Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) in the Oct. 1 radio address.

We predict the eventual winner will be “Together, We Americans, Regardless of Race, Religion or Lack Thereof, Country of Origin, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Differently-Abledness, Criminal Record, or Age, Can Do Better.”

Whatever slogan they pick, they’ve certainly resolved their central problem:

“There’s this sense that people don’t know where we stand or what our ideas are,” a House Democratic leadership aide said. “Messaging has been the problem. … People should know where we stand.”

Now we know. They stand for “doing better.” Ranks right up there with “Just Do It,” doesn’t it?
