Nationalize '06

In reading Karl Rove's speech yesterday to the RNC, I saw nothing concrete; only a hint of something I've been thinking for a few weeks now as I've watched the left drooling all over themselves about the implications of the Abramoff mess for the '06 midterms.

Democrats and Republicans have deep differences about our nation, where it is going, and what needs to be done to make it stronger, better, and safer. Those differences should be debated this year, openly, publicly, passionately.

Karl's three-pronged strategy appears to hit on National Security, the economy and the courts:

And so today I want to talk about three issues: national security, the economy, and the courts. There are many other topics we need to address, but these should be at the center of our attention.

He then proceeds to point out the WH strategy and positions for each while contrasting them with the Democrats positions.

I've begun to think for a few weeks now as many attempt to make hay at Republican's expense in Congress that the best defense against the blanket "corruption" charge is to nationalize the election a la 1994. Make it about national security and the Democrats will lose.

They can't help themselves.
