The right used "it's not the desecration of the oval office with oral sodomy and the spillage of unclean fluids (see Leviticus), it's the LIES about the desecration ..." The sexual morality issue mobilized their base (so to speak), and the lying aspect swayed many others.
The left may be able to use a similar approach. On today's Face the Nation, I saw Terry McAuliffe, chairman of the DNC, trot out the "it's about the lies, exaggeration, and politicizing the agencies" argument. But his mantra was the economy.
They have to avoid looking happy about the domestic and foreign quagmires, and they have to have something besides "Dubya's screwing up."
