Oliver Willis - Bane of the Blues

Thumb over at Eschaton discusses how Oliver Willis' Brand Democrat (you know, the 'since 1794' donkey logo) campaign will be a great help to the left, who seem to suffer as a group with selling themselves to the majority (John Kerry being a case in point).

However, I think the campaign has begun to do more harm than good now the right wing of the blogosphere has hijacked the idea. It was a good idea, but the plain fact is that any pro-Democrat slogans cleverly thought up by well-meaning lefties



will be forgotten, while the anti-Democrat slogans from the Rebrand Democrat site will be the ones people remember.

So - Oliver Willis, bane of the Blues. Who'da thunk it.
