Grayson for DNC Chair.
I wish he'd run and the coalition that backed Dean would back him.

(But I think those elections only happen when the White House is Republican, right?)

2. I think he could be OK, but he's a loose cannon
Dean was a successful governor and well thought out. Grayson seems to be part blowhard, part clown, and not always under control.

3. Did you read his replies when he "live chatted" here?
He's not at all a blowhard. He's a fighter, yes. But he's an excellent proponent of liberal Democratic ideas.

5. Yes
He's going to be OK with you and me. We don't have a dispute with him. I remember him storming republican meetings and treating the people disrespectfully. That's not a way for a congressman to act. It's one thing if he wants to attend, but he should be respectful in that setting even if his opponents aren't.

6. Why respect those shits.

You don't have to respect any of them if you head the DNC. And you shouldn't!

8. I mostly agree
But his visit to that meeting made me question his self control.

His pitch was perfect.

13. We might be talking about different events
I'm not talking about his posts on DU. I know he's knowledgable and I like his fire.

15. I'm definitely not talking about his performance at the GOP caucus
which I didn't see. I just don't think the way he is with Republicans should have any bearing on his chances to lead the Democrats, unless he was too cozy with them, if you know what I mean.

4. Likes this! ^^
I think Grayson would be a good reincarnation of HD if he doesn't want the job again.

7. Because he did such a good job with his own reelection campaign...
We should certainly give him a promotion...

Is this for real?

9. No, you're imagining it. It's all just a terrible dream.

Of course it's real.

12. Talk about eating your own. Back away from the FAUX.
It really does rot the brain.
