Carville and Greenberg: Democrats Should Run as Outsiders

James Carville and Stanley Greenberg delivery some advice concerning the grim data in their new Democracry Corps poll:

While these results were released publicly, we thought it would be helpful for progressive leaders to stare at the results – particularly the stability over the last three months. It should move them to battle more intensely race-by-race – and push the national leaders to a different frame for this election. With the recovery barely visible and Democrats still behind on the economy, progressives should not seek a mandate based on their performance, but on their advocacy for ordinary people versus Wall Street and on where they want to take the country, compared to the Republicans. Democratic candidates should run as outsiders and independents that battle to change Washington. They should show their passion for jobs, the economy and middle class.

Outsiders and independents even though Democrats control the White House , the House , and the Senate!
