What the Dems Need to do in Order to Hold onto Congress

I think every Dem needs to print out this article from a pollster for Clinton named
Douglas E. Schoen if they want to keep their jobs in November. This part alone will probably keep many of them in power:

These policies include a broad-based payroll tax holiday, building from the one Sens. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) have embraced, an extension of the Bush tax cuts, educational initiatives to educate the next generation of entrepreneurs, and tax policies that provide clear incentives to small businesses to get started and to hire new employees. Of late, President Obama has paid lip-service to the concept of creating private-sector jobs, but there is much more he can and should do to become the "jobs president" rather than the "health-care president."

Keep the Bush tax cuts or even broaden them and call them the Obama Tax Cuts and then doing these other things would be a real "jobs bill." Mark my words if Obama gets on the side of small businessmen and actually backs reasons for them to create new jobs he will win a second term in a land-slide. That payroll tax holiday alone if structured correctly would create millions of jobs.

However, if the "jobs bill" turns out to be an extention of unemployment insurance, and a bunch of infrastructure spending in 2012 then just about any Republican other then Sarah Palin would beat him handily. He can't afford to have unemployement as high as it is for 2 more years.
