1. Ask him why he said...

he thinks pResident Shrub went into Iraq with "good intentions" and also ask him why he "supports going in".
He is LIEberman lite.

[IndianaGreen]

2. He is Hillary's man

Why should we sink to that level?

[CWebster]

3. Do ya think the fix is in for him?

A rather lifeless New Democrat yuppie insider. A non-threatening choice, sure to implement no change on the horizon.

There are a few, whose policies I might not agree with 100%, but they are hungry and passionate. A firebrand might just be the ticket to stir things up.

I did find it amusing, considering all the claims to the contrary, about the role of the chairman in promoting and defining the message during the last gathering.

[Skidmore]

4. I sure think they are trying their best to undermine

anyone else.

[KittyWampus]

5. The Narrow Minded, Jingoistic Comments Already Gracing This Thread

indicate a lot of DU'ers won't bother listening to the man and investigating.

They just try and fit him into the 2 dimensional box they've created to try and prevent Dean from having any competition.

It is REALLY kind of sick.

Forget holding an election.

Just GIVE Dean the Chairmanship.

:puke:

[CWebster]

6. Are you talking to me--because I drew my conclusions after

watching the entire panel. AND, if you read my comment, you would know that I thought quite a few of them were impressive--even though they might not represent me personally, 100 percent. So, it was seem that it is predictably you who are looking to pigeonhole and slam others.

[KittyWampus]

7. Not In Particular, You're Commentary Is Often Thoughtful.

As for the panel on Cspan last night...

Fowler gave a blistering speech condemning the Washington Consultants last night.

I am pretty damn sure he meant it cause he left the Clark campaign very vocally complaining about the same thing.

He'd been a part of the Draft Clark grassroots efforts and was pissed the Washington Crew came in and basically usurped the local infrastructure that'd been established.

And he was pissed the grassroots organizatin was being sidelined.

This is to a great extent what most Dean supporters WANT.

And Fowler just isn't 'channeling Dean' saying it. He has experienced it by being subject to it.

So the fact so many Dean supporters IMMEDIATELY began dissing Fowler cause some endorsements came his way is pathetic.

Same with Rosenberg.

I have YET to see a Dean supporter actually list what either Rosenberg or Fowler have actually done.

A list of accomplishements, failures etc.

Just meaningless catchphrases like DLC'er, Hillary's candidate etc.

Simon Rosenberg: Ready from Day One to Lead the DNC

No other candidate matches Simon Rosenberg’s combination of vision, passion, and experience. He is ready from day one to lead the DNC in fighting and winning on the 21st century political battleground.

Simon Rosenberg has:

Founded and serves as president of the New Democrat Network, which has grown since 1996 to become a powerful, national network of leaders committed to modernizing progressive politics and building a winning, durable Democratic majority.

Raised tens of millions of dollars and supported nearly 500 candidates and state parties to help Democrats from all parts of the party win in every part of the country, at every level of government.

Helped elect more than 50 members of Congress and dozens of statewide elected officials, and invested in a new generation of political leaders at the state and local level.

Worked on the ground in 12 states across the country, including Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Worked with all parts of the party across 14 years of working full time in Democratic politics, as a veteran of two presidential campaigns, including the Clinton War Room where he helped run the campaign’s national grassroots effort in 1992, and the DNC’s senior staff.

Produced several cutting-edge media campaigns to promote the Democratic brand in tough states like Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  The "Restoring the Promise of America" campaign was described by National Journal’s Hotline as "the first serious attempt we’ve seen any Dem group make in trying to revive the Dem 'brand' in non-Dem places."

Ran a $6 million, 10-state media campaign to specifically target and persuade Hispanic voters that produced clear gains in Hispanic support for the Democratic issue agenda – and which serves as a model for how the DNC can communicate with other groups of voters, such as African-Americans, Asian-Americans, rural and exurban voters, active military and veterans, women, and young voters.

Developed thoughtful, forward-thinking strategic advice for the party through NDN’s New Majority Coalition research project that is identifying the voters we need to win and how we should talk to them.

Crafted a national message for our party with the NDN Agenda, "A Commitment to Hope and Progress," which provides a positive, optimistic vision for America that embraces the very best of our values and speaks to voters no matter where they live.

Helped launch a project to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in building our party’s infrastructure for the years ahead, and helped create new groups like the Democracy Alliance and Media Matters.

Served as a visible and effective spokesman for the party in television, print, and radio.

Championed today’s exploding growth of participation in politics through the Internet and promoted making citizen-activists into partners in our fight – not just donors to our cause.
