Tweety had a good point

The other day Tweety was asking after the Obama surrogates. It's true, where are they? Why aren't the hollywood celebs out there making commercials and appearances? What about elected democrats across the country? Why is it that on the sunday shows we can only come up with ed rendell and a couple of other moderates who are too polite? The only other dems spokespeople we get are the ones that are on the payroll like Ploffe and axlerod. I love 'em but man, where are the elected democrats? We should all be calling our respective democratic representatives and asking them why they aren't out there stumping for the Pres. This is ridiculous.

It may be a bit early. Look for this in the last week or two. I recall Colin Powell did not endorse AlinPA Oct 2012 #1
