War Room contest: Pick the Democrats' bumper sticker

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sent around an e-mail this morning asking its supporters for help in coming up with "the bumper-sticker slogan that will carry us through the 2008 elections." If 1992 brought us "It's the Economy, Stupid," and 2006 featured "Had Enough?" what's the operative phrase for 2008?

We thought about sending in our suggestion -- "Democrats: We'll complain and gnash our teeth and send a lot of very threatening letters before allowing the White House to do whatever it wants" -- but it turns out that entries can't have more than 40 characters.

Maybe you can do better. Check that, you can do better; the suggestions the DSCC has produced so far include "W Is Out, Send the Right Wing With Him" and "No Republicans Left Behind in D.C."

Post your proposals for the Democrats' 2008 slogan in the comments section below, and we'll reward the best entry with a fine piece of Salon swag. If we can't find any of that, we'll send out the commemorative George W. Bush shot glass that sits right here on our beautifully handcrafted War Room desk.

The very tough tiebreaker: Come up with an '08 slogan for the GOP, and make it one that doesn't mention Hillary Clinton.
