The article focuses on the messages of the 2004 U.S. presidential election campaign. For the moment, the American right is better at talking about the future than the left. It is better at exuding optimism. And it is better at addressing the aspirations of an aspirational people. Arguably the only optimistic thing about the John Kerry campaign was its slogan. By contrast, President George W. Bush not only sounded upbeat, but also came up with solutions, of sorts. Bush's optimistic message gave him a commanding advantage in pro-growth America. Bush's America, for the most part, is booming. What is worrying for the Democrats is that there may be two bigger forces turning them into a party of the past. First, the party is increasingly dominated by people who have no yearning for growth. Second, the Democratic Party is ceasing to be a mom-and-pop party. Yet the Democrats are not beyond redemption. Bill Clinton showed they can triumph in the suburbs by preaching economic growth and social responsibility.

The article focuses on the U.S. Republican slogan of so-called compassionate conservatism. Four years ago, George Bush based his entire campaign on it. As the televised debates turn to domestic policy, Bush may talk almost as much about compassion as about terrorism.This year's version of compassionate conservatism is rather different from the 2000 model. Four years ago, Bush tied the idea to "faith-based" initiatives. This year he is talking about an activist government. He is campaigning on a number of policies that are supposed to put the state on the side of the people, from building more community health centres to updating job-training programmes. In 2000 Bush used compassionate conservatism to distinguish himself from the conservatism of his party's congressional wing; now he is trying to prove that there is more to his administration than fighting terrorists abroad and cutting taxes at home. All of which ought to make compassionate conservatism a tough sell. For all that, compassionate conservatism is still the perfect complement to Bush's war on terrorism. It serves as both an attractive slogan for swing voters and an effective shield against the charge that he has nothing more to offer at home than tax cuts.

Ronald Reagan dropped this same hot potato into Jimmy Carter's lap four years later, and suddenly incumbency never looked so bad. That is, until William Jefferson Clinton rode a variation of the quip up the slippery slope to re-election in 1996.

The author comments on the race for premier of Ontario. Ernie Eves and the Tories have gone through a rough couple of years, from a divisive leadership campaign to the botched privatization of Ontario Hydro, to the evaporation of Ontario's rosy economic prospects. During the August blackout, people grumbled that it was all Ernie Eves's fault, as if he were such a disastrous premier he could take out power lines from Ohio to Boston. A working plurality of Ontarians would just as soon see this government gone. Given their record and their leader, the Tories are desperate to change the subject -- to Dalton McGuinty. You think we're bad, they're saying in effect? Take a look at this freak. It worked like a charm for them in 1999, when their campaign slogan was "Dalton McGuinty: Just Not Up to the Job." They liked it so much they're using it again. This year's ads read: "Dalton McGuinty: He's Still Not Up to the Job." Never let it be said Ernie Eves opposes recycling. But there is danger here for the Tories and hope for the Liberals where neither expected to find it. It just may be that when Ontarians do take another look at McGuinty, they'll like him.
