Spring break is stimulus blitz time for Dems

I think it very strategic for the Democrats to be going after the public with speeches on the stimulus rather than the budget with its off time. It seems to me that Republicans have failed to unite and form a strong stand against the budget or even put together a budget that they could toil around in comparison to the one of President Obama. Since the stimulus will start hitting cities around the nation very soon, the first-term members can show some of the benefits they feel the stimulus will generate to each of their districts to instill some confidence in what they are doing. Essentially like it has boiled down to in the New York race, the stimulus can either be phrased in terms of job creation and needed infrastructure improvement or in terms of wasteful spending. I think by the next election, we will see which side was able to get across their message the best and with Democrats holding an advantage in being incumbents they can start their message war right now before they can be attacked by potential 2010 challengers. Even though they will not be in Washington for the Easter recess, I still see how important time in the district will be in terms of gearing up for future battles because the public support will dictate whether or not moving forward is an appropriate initiative for each Representative.
