Talk the truth about him and that he is not a real Dem.

But that requires there to be a good Dem running that will kick his ass. Unless someone else comes out of the woodworks possibly during this convention I think it will be Hillary. I would support her in a heart beat. But if Biden has the energy and willingness to be the nominee I would support him too.

The only differences between him an Chris Christie is the +/- 100 lbs and Christie's larger intellect.

I think Martin O'Malley, the governor of Maryland, would make an outstanding president.

I would like to see a strong woman this time, who is a real social Democrat. Elizabeth Warren comes to mind. I hope she gets the Senate so she will be in the right place for 2016 even if it's for the VEEP position and not the POTUS.

I don't know which on the Emanuel brothers I dislike or despise the most.

The one who mal-advised Obama on congressional tactics, moved more than half way before he started, who abandoned progressive Dem candidates for Congress to focus resources on the DLC centrist, corporatist candidates in only some states, not the 50-state strategy of Howard Dean.

The brother leading reform of health care who pre rejected single payer and publIV option

Or the third brother, the Hollywood dealmaker, the one did the deal for movie rights to the book by Andrew snd Cheri Young about John Edwards. Most allegations against Edwards were refuted at trial and Young was implicated as a grifter.

That extra money and accompanying media hype probably helped the Repub Fed Prosecutor justify 12-18 more months investigating all NC Dem elected officials.

The Chicago teacher is on strike because of Rahm's stupid policies, and I stand with them.

I certainly hope he gets the boot in 2015, and never show up for anything else.

I'm leaning towards Schweitzer, O'Malley or Castro.

But Rahm? Forget it. DLC/New Dems/Third Way is dead.

I wouldn't vote for him in a primary. I'm still concerned about getting through this cycle and then making some additional gains in 2014 so we can get Obama more comfortable margin in Congress. Let's worry about the 2016 election in November 2014.

...has long been said is the best political job in the country. The late Richard J. Daley joked how the powerful came to kiss his ring, not the other way around. I think Rambo is thinking the same way as he's definitely enjoying being the new "Boss". If he weathers his first term I'll bet he stays for many more...playing kingmaker; a role he's always felt best suited for.
