Ignore the nannies, make it clear that the TeaPubliKlan party is a better vehicle for social controls on individual behavior, and make it as hard line and public as humanly possible including publicity stunts like setting fire to their planks.

Quit the "big tent" shit which is nothing but a permanent majority tactic that doesn't at all work and results in a constantly distorted and watered down message that seems like a bunch of double talk and a willful effort to appear to be all things to all people.

Flush the Turd Way, the source of the muddling and lots of the nanny shit (though certainly not all).

Maybe stop devaluing their work and put trades on the same tier of importance as professional jobs even when discussing education.

Maybe stop mocking his interests and entertainment.

Be a little more strategic. Pressing pay equity when falling wages, poor job security, and all kinds of cutbacks in play might tell a fella that money is coming from somewhere and somewhere is usually me.

Regular guys have to be welcome without them having to do a bunch of filtering.

Show some passion on the issue you claim to represent me on and drop. The milquetoast soft spoken nerd routine. Bill Clinton sold not because of his policies (most will have little idea what they were in actuality) though they will mention the economy. People liked Bubba because he was no shrinking violet, was flawed and therefore relatable, and presented as a regular dude and an interesting one at that who you can imagine telling a dirty joke or bitching about his wife. You could picture him at beer call after work and he spoke with great comfort as someone who would belong there. His education and circles never became a communication obstacle when dealing with regular folks.

More Ed Schultz and less Micheal Kinsley. More Brian Switzer and less John Kerry.

I think that is part of the reason for the take down of Howard Dean, he might have been to close to that effective edge, northeastern doctor and all.
