Davis To Bush: Change The Game

Rep. Tom Davis has a very thought-provoking suggestions in a memo he wrote for House Republicans.  Davis, a former committee chairman and successful head of the NRCC, brings credibility to a memo like this.  Its a mixed bag of suggestions, but what he essentially says is that President Bush needs to do more to put Democrats in Congress on the record for all the major issues of the day.  Bush, despite low approval ratings, can still set the agenda.  His best point is that Americans despise Congress, but we aren't holding Democrats accountable for that since they are in the majority.  Its a good question, one that many in the GOP establishment need to answer.  Why can't we tie 20% approval ratings to the Democrat majority?

You can get the entire memo through Weekly Standard, and then RedState parses through it.

TC wonders if Davis might be the man to replace Tom Cole for the rest of this election cycle.  Lord knows he's not doing anything else, and this memo is a big step back into the limelight for him.  It can't get much worse than it is right now, and despite whatever your politics are, Tom Davis is the unsung hero the Republican triumphs of the late 1990s and early 2000s, engineering big Republican victories in the house.
