How much better would we be feeling tonight if Dean was still DNC chair? |
|
Seems to me it was a MAJOR mistake to give him the boot.

1. He was just on KO - looked fantastic! |
|
I wish he was still DNC Chair - might have made a huge difference.

2. It *WAS* a major mistake. That and the nomination of a non-fighter. (NT) |

5. I doubt if he were DNC chair it would have made a great deal of difference |
|
in this election. A number of people who will lose tomorrow will be blue dogs who were elected under Dean's fifty state strategy. People here tend to forget that Dean didn't just recruit liberal or progressive candidates but he understood that to compete in "red" states and districts that moderate or conservative dems needed to be included.

We won't miss the blue dogs-they are always anti-union, pro big business, anti civil liberty. Having said that -its important to be competitive in all fifty states in order to make the rethugs spread their resources. The states with the most people and the most power are still California and New York.

7. I'm in on that! Tim "There's a better way." Kaine revives the old DLC 50%+1 that worked so well in |
|
the past. Actually to say he had a plan (any plan) would be a compliment.

...you'd feel the same way if Jesus Christ Himself were DNC chair.
I voted for him, and was a Dean delegate to state convention....

Dean was the first chair in eons to work the entire country. Now we are back to selective engagement. I think my local race got about $10 from the DNC. Doesn't make sense.
