The title says it all. This is our silver bullet, if we can figure out how to use it.
As an alternative to the current food-fight, I'd like to try to offer something constructive. Here's an idea that I haven't yet seen or heard discussed. Being overseas, I rely on podcasts for my media fix, so I'm usually half a day behind the flux. I was listening to last night's Rachel Maddow show on the way home today, and I had an epiphany while listening to her brilliant, but ultimately fruitless, revision of Obama's oval office address.
The thing we need to unite the folks who feel as Rachel and I do, is unified, good, consistent messaging. I'm not a genius at messaging, but I'm certain we could get a lot of mileage out of one simple, familiar message, repeated ad infinitum: "Deepwater Horizon changed everything." Follow me after the break if you're willing to be convinced.
