If the Democratic Party wants to elect a President ...

My thing lately is lists. Here's another one, top 5 things Hilary and Barack need to do if they want to see a Democratic Party President elected.

1. Stop going at each other throats!
All your campaigns are doing at this point is generating fodder for Republicans in November

2. Start going after Bush, Cheney, and McCain!
Seriously. You know who the first person to emerge as a leader in this campaign is going to be? The one who acts like one. That's the person that takes the reigns as the front-runner, doesn't bother with their critics, and instead focuses more on some things that matter. Try starting with the situation on the ground in Afghanistan someone!

3. Bridge the Gap
Y'know, maybe what this campaign is about is Hilary and Barack TOGETHER in the White House. It could be a Reagan Bush moment for the Democratic party. That thought is still a little scary, perhaps worthy of another blog post devoted to the subject.

4. Stop whining!
Seriously, your job is about tough decisions. Let the press roll off your back and quit your bitching.

5. Start Talking Issues!
If you're really about hope Barack and you're really about solutions Hilary, then every time you have a microphone in your face, you need to bring up an issue that matters! My suggestion - Health Care!

We'll see if Hilary wins Texas and Ohio. All signs point to yes.
