Dems have had some great new pol strategists on TV lately

[eleny]

I just caught the tail end of two strategists on MSNBC. A woman representing the Dems and a guy representing the Republicans. I wish I had caught the entire segment.

The Dem trounced the Repub. She was a fast talking, fact spouting fountain of information. At the end when the R tried to say that the Dems were against the Patriot Act, she pointed out that it was initially proposed by a Dem, Lieberman. And then she kept repeating that the Repub strategist was "lying" until the segment ended.

I never saw this Dem strategist before. She's one of a number of new faces on tv and I like them. She had short dark hair. I hope to see more of her. Woot!

1. They're back for another segment!

She's Anna Greenberg, Dem. The R is Brad Blakeman.

3. I've seen him before

Greenberg handled his points quite nicely. I liked that she used the "l" word. He didn't quite know what to do with that. I hope we see her on more segments in the weeks ahead. She's unflappable. Matthews needs to get her on his shows. He keeps relying on the weaker Dem strategist. It's getting to be an obvious pattern with him.

4. If she's competent, she won't be a Democrat for long.

She would show up all the lard-asses that have been advising the Democrats for the last eight years. You're acting as if Democrats really WANT to win an election.

"Win? Fight against Daddy Dubya? Of course not, silly!"

6. There are 3 new-to-tv Dem strategists I've noticed

Greenberg is new to me. The other two are also women. One with short blond hair and other long hair. (I wish I could recall their names but this plane crash in NYC has me sort of sideways.) These other two have been on Fox as well as the other cable stations and they're dynamite. Hopefully, they're edging out the old guard. Maybe they bring in better ratings. I hope so as that means all to the networks.

5. I have noticed that also. Good news as far as I am concerned.

We had some poor representation in 04.
I would also suggest we distance ourselves from Carville and Begallia. Let them be classified as independent pundits. The are wrong more than they are right regarding our party.

8. Thanks and you're welcome!

It's a breath of fresh air not to have to worry when our guys open their mouths on the tv.

9. Too bad they weren't around in 2000 and 2004

Better late than never I guess.
