He spent most of his time outside Washington. He helped negotiate the Kyoto protocols (for all the good that did us), and is still heavily involved in environmental issues. He is a Deaniac like me, i.e. DNC, not DLC.
Olbermann and AAR, are feel-good media, and while sometimes (even often) brilliant, they preach to the converted. Don't get me wrong, I am delighted that there is finally something out there that we can listen to that says stuff we want to hear instead of the usual RW drivel, but AAR won't get the Guns'n'God crowd to vote Democratic. Obama was not clever to mention them in such stark terms, but he was spot on that they are a group that needs convincing, and they listen to National Hate Radio and Foxx, not AAR or KO. Just because logic dictates it should be a cakewalk, doesn't make it so. That's OUR logic. Karl Rove sees things differently, and he just stole two elections from us. It would not be wise to think he isn't trying for three in a row.
