(25,816 posts)DNC Chair would be great--or as an elected official. He's too good to sit
on the sidelines.

Some complain his 50 state strategy netted us a few Blue Dogs. So what? They gave us the majority in Congress.
I'd rather deal with someone who agrees with me 75% of the time instead of some teabagger who never does.

(14,302 posts)What we need, though, is a 50-state strategy like Dean championed: we talk to EVERY voter in EVERY state and don't concede a square inch! And run a Democrat in EVERY down ballot election, even if we never send them another dime. You never know when one of these Repubs will implode, and we need to be there ready to go.
