Kerry more. It seems like the RNC Chairman if out there all the time. Does anyone else agree?

1. I disagree!
Why should we act like them? We have our own game plan!

2. My point is to have someone stronger than some of the people
Edited on Sun May-02-04 05:43 PM by SCRUBDASHRUB
the DNC has been sending out there to defend him. I want someone of equal footing. Not to attack.

3. I don't know
There might be internal politics playing into this. McCaulliff is Clinton's man after a fashion. But then again if that is the reason, kind of frusterating for us all, that they can't get their act together.

9. Thats what I was thinking too.
As long as Terry is the head, Clintons will follow. Maybe it's time for a change? The Kerry plan does'nt seem to be getting any traction. maybe he is not listening to sound advice either, but he can sure raise mega-$$$, which we need.

5. Perhaps the DNC doesn't want to look as if it's on the defensive.

Responding to certain charges gives them merit in my book.

On edit...meant DNC. Sorry, freetobegay!

7. For the uninformed
Terry McAuliffe does not belong to the DLC! Using repuke tactics by saying it enough times, isn't going to make it true.

Could make your point in a nicer way, however.

13. Normally I am a nice person
Edited on Sun May-02-04 06:11 PM by freetobegay
But the hypocrisy around here about the DLC is just plain stupid!

Glad to see you are not part of it.

14. No problem.
To be fair, I should be able to avoid those mistakes anyhow.

6. No!!! Not Terry!!!
Keep him in the office...outta sight. He's been "Roved" to the point where he's damaged goods in any one on one...especially with Gillespie...kinda makes you need to take two showers after watching those two go at it. We need a better way and it's on the way.

I noticed this week Dick Durbin was selected as one of the upcoming campaign spokespeople, and I'm seeing people like Richard Holbrooke, Wes Clark, Rahm Manuel and a new breed of faces and voices coming on the scene...it's refreshing comparing to the same old GOOP talking heads.

10. Consider Me Very Partisan, But...
Durbin's the third ranking Democrat in the Senate...and, I'm very proud to say, MY senator. He's very easy going and articulate, specializes in Education and Foreign Affairs and is looked upon here in Illinois as Paul Simon's true heir as a Progressive/Liberal. I'm sure I'm not the only Illinois DU'er who loves our Senator.

Dick occasionally takes the Senate floor to trash this regime and is one of its most effective speakers. He's got the ability to smooth the facts at you...and is hard for the Repugnicans to attack cause the guy is just too "likeable". Above all, he looks good on TV, and knows how to play it very well.
