not wait until their polls tell them it is safe to bring it up.

In Ohio, we have a ODP that have been too silent despite the obvious blatant disregard for the Democratic low income voting base. If they don't want to bring it up, then we must bring it to the public by whatever it takes. The Dems should be courting those that were disenfranchised, but they aren't. Example: Dean is coming to Franklin County to speak. Instead of heading to the Low Income African American neighborhoods that were hard hit by disenfranchisement at the hands of the Repukes, and were not supported afterward by their own party, he is speaking at a Dem bond fundraiser in which you have to donate at least $10/mo to the Democratic Party. He needs to go into the inner city neighborhoods, to talk to the people who waited for 5+ hours to vote and explain why they should bother to come out in full force, like they did in '04, again! These voters are their base, but can't afford $10/mo. The Democratic Party can't win Ohio without their support!
