Reply #139: The face won't stay very fresh [View All]

Sure he's damaged goods, but any Democrat will be damaged by right wing noise machine.

A fresh face is easier to damage as the public knows little about them.

To win, we need a multi-year campaign. Someone can't win the nomination in the spring of 2008 and then be ready to prevent the Republican noise machine from defining them. We need someone who is prominent enought to spend the next few years defining themselves in the public's mind so that when the win the nomination people will know them on the candidate's terms, not the Republicans. Plus it helps to have someone who has experienced a national campaign first hand.
