DESPERATELY SEEKING SLOGANS.

If the quality of potential bumper sticker slogans is any indication, Democrats could be in trouble during the 2008 campaign.

The online information service NewsMax.com reported last week that noted Democrat political consultant James Carville recently sent out a mass e-mail on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The e-mail solicited suggestions for a bumper sticker slogan the party can use throughout next year's campaigns. The slogan will be featured on the DSCC's Web site, on campaign literature and "on the bumpers of jalopies from coast to coast."

The e-mail to presumed Democrat supporters states: "We need a turn of phrase that jumps out and tells you right off the bat what this election is all about."

Carville then offered a few potential slogans that went a long way in explaining why he is desperate for alternatives:

• W Is Out Send the Right Wing With Him

• No Republican Left Behind In D.C.

• What Have Republicans Done for You Lately

• 2006 Was Just the Beginning More Dems in '08

Color us unimpressed.
