Who can get media access, who have experience and strong leadership skills and who can talk about Dems plans and their take on the issues.

It helps having people like Dean and Clinton in this role because neither is running for office, so there's less likelihood of the media and public treating them dismissively.

At this point in time (just before the midterms when we need fair elections to take back a majority in Congress), we needn't worry about promoting a candidate for 2008. We need party leaders who can work on getting our message out to the public. We can have more than one as long as they're all sticking with the same messages and issues.
