How feasible is it to expect that the National Democrats will bond together and run as a unified opposition party in 2006?

Even though Newt and the boys failed at a lot of their agenda, they did come to power pretty handily. Seems like the time is right to use that method against them in trying to win back the Congress.

No one gives the Dems a chance of getting both Houses, but with the right strategy, it could happen.

What would be your biggest issues should they draw up a Contract?

Here are mine:

1) A commitment to a real and viable exit strategy in Iraq, while making sure not to leave a raging mess behind us in our wake.

2) Re-open the dialogue on health care.

3) Commit to fiscal responsibility and fair progressive taxation.

4) Fix public education.

5) Work to reduce the number of abortions. They've gone up under Bush, and we need to fix it.

Thoughts anyone?
