Reply #92: I agree with some of what you said- but havent DEMS always acted as surrogates for the nominees? [View All]

I dont remember anyone saying that Dean shouldnt attack Bush/Cheney for Kerry, for example.

When Clinton won 2 terms in a row- SCORES of DEM senators, congressmen and others stumped for them and attacked the GOP ont his behalf- did that make him look weak? They also acted as surrogates for him while he was being impeached.

Where did this brand new notion that top DEMS with gravitias are not supposed to speak out against Republicans who are attacking DEMS and DEM issues?

This notion that Biden & Obama are somehow on their own, and that surrogates have no place is new to me.

Having said that- I'm sure we agree that Hillary will do whatever the campaign asks of her- if they ask her to stay quiet, then I think that is a mistake, personaly...
