50 states, moderates ( or stealthy) in swing districts and even in enemy territory.
Rahm was wrong.
Dean is a winner.

They played a dirty and unDemocratic game.

(25,699 posts)if you motivate people to vote for you, they will vote for you. Even if, as the Republicans demonstrate, voting for you meansvoting agaisnt themselves
Democrats dropped the ball big time. Obama has a huge list of accomplishments and they didn't even want to admit that they VOTED for him.

Howard Dean helped Obama win the Left vote and win in 2008. Then Obama was thru with the Left as Rahmbo made crystal clear. Obama, Rahmbo, Penny Pritzker, and the rest of Obama's nominations are all Conservatives. They don't want Dean and his damn Left. Ms. Wasserman Schultz did what was expected of her. She worked to elect Conservative Democrats at the expense of Non-Conservative Democrats. If Ms. Wasserman Schultz is replaced it won't be with someone like Dean, it will be by someone like Ms. Wasserman Schultz.
