I think that it would be a huge benefit to Democrats and to the country to elevate the visibility of their work for small business.

One reason a lot of people in my area shy away from voting Dem is because they think Dems are "anti-business." The situation is actually more complex than that. The tough thing is that certain typical Dem positions, like raising the minimum wage, are widely seen as putting a burden on small biz. This is a problem that Dems really need to deal with, and especially JK, given his position on that committee. It may be that they really need to change the way they write the laws to make it easier for small biz while still achieving the liberal social goals such as raising the minimum wage. I am sure Kerry understands this. I am not sure how well other Dems do.

Ah, but anyway we are talking about real work now, not photo ops and presidential campaign speculations, so who in the media would pay attention anyway?
