With the Republicans rumbling of how voters should not pick party candidates in a primary, and of how candidates should conform to party standards, perhaps now would be the time for the Democrats to seize the opening and sell a new image. They could have a series of logos underneath their name in their advertisements:
The Democratic Party
Where You Decide the Stands
Utah's Democratic Party
Where the Voter is the Party Boss
Utah's Democratic Party
The Party of the People
The New Democratic Party
Taking its Cue from the People, Instead of Getting Cute With the People
The New Democratic Party
Your Voice is Our Voice
The New Democratic Party
You Make the Party
The Democratic Party
We Don't Party Without You
The Democratic Party
Because Parties aren't Fun Unless You're in Charge
The New Democratic Party
Because Parties aren't Fun Unless You Toot Your Horn
The Democratic Party
Of the People, By the People, For the People
(In smaller print) We Might Get Caught Stealing From the Other Party, But We'll Never Get Caught Stealing the Right to Vote from the Voters
And, here's the idea that could really make a difference. The party could seek to field at least two candidates in every race, working not to find candidates that agree with the party platform, but rather candidates that disagree with each other, so there would be a choice in the primary.
Then, the slogans would read:
Utah's Democratic Party
Pick the Party that Let's You Pick the Candidate
Utah's New Democratic Party
The Party of Choice, Because it Gives You the Choice
The Democratic Party
Where Voting Means Choice
Utah's Democratic Party
Embracing Choice, Not Party-boss Politics
Utah's New Democratic Party
Where You Choose, and You Lead
The Democratic Party
Where Grassroots Means Something
The Democratic Party
Where Freedom Means Choice, Not Conformity
The Democratic Party
Stuck on You
The Democratic Party
Choice is on Our Side
The Democratic Party
All Baseball, Applepie, and the American Way
