Dems sought slogan help

Remember that bumper sticker contest we wrote about the other day, the one where James Carville said he wanted your help in writing and picking an '08 slogan for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee? And by the way, they'll accept some money from you too if you feel like it.

Apparently more than 10,000 nominees were sent in. And now they've come up with four finalists:

"About Dem Time"

"Sorry W I'm the Decider Dems in '08"

"Look where voting Republican has gotten us"

"Now you know why I'm a Democrat"

It's too late to cast a vote for your favorite; the deadline was midnight last night. But you can always keep checking the site for the winner if you care.

Don Frederick has served as an editor helping guide coverage of every presidential election since 1984. He is a third-generation Washingtonian, so watching the political world comes naturally to him.

A graduate of Northwestern University, he was a reporter for newspapers in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas before joining the (now-defunct) Los Angeles Herald Examiner in 1983. Hired by The Times in 1989, he has worked in its Washington bureau since 1996 — a perch providing him a close-up view of the impeachment of President Clinton, the government's response to 9/11 and the day-to-day wrangling of the two major parties.

Andrew Malcolm's immigrant parents repeatedly stressed the importance of active participation in a democracy. Early lessons included learning the alphabetical list of states by watching televised roll calls of national political conventions. That childhood exposure led to a lifelong fascination with politics, including 40-plus years of covering them and a brief stint practicing them as press secretary to Laura Bush in 1999-2000.

A veteran foreign and national correspondent, Malcolm served on the Times Editorial Board and was a Pulitzer finalist in 2004. He is the author of 10 nonfiction books and father of four.
