It's simple. The Dems don't have a spin machine, and talking points, machine as well organized as the Repugs. Hate 'em, or not, the Repugs can spin the shit out of an issue. Hell, an hour after a talking point is issued, every right-wing radio show and politician will be echoing the point all day long until the mainstream media has to report on it due to the number of politicians mentioning it. I just want to know, where do they all meet to get their talking points list of the day?
