1. OK he's not a firebrand, but............

with all the shit that's happening in Ohio, maybe he'll be a little more tuned in to the workers than he was before. I could probably live with this at least until we see how it goes.

[hollowdweller]

2. Hed be 3000 times better than Kaine

He's too populist. Obama will never choose him.

[Pirate Smile]

3. I like it. He's also kicking Kasich's ass now & the people of Ohio would take him back in a second.

4. I bet Howard Dean would do an awesome job at it!

Oh...oh yeah.

[FarPoint]

5. Now that man warms my heart.

He can put together a fine team.

NO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! PUSH FOR HOWARD DEAN!!

[FarPoint]

9. I do like the sound of that now.

Ohio's loss....they let a great one slip away.

[phleshdef]

10. Dean willfully resigned. He doesn't WANT it anymore.

[Kingofalldems]

11. K and R for good news!

[Ikonoklast]

12. ? Dean doesn't want it.

Strickland is a good choice.

[we can do it]

13. Why Doesn't It Make Sense, Ted Is Awesome

[peace13]

14. Oh no! As an Ohioan let me say this.....

Please watch his debate videos from this past election. Kasich, is , well I can't say it here and all Ted had to do was speak English and explain his position in order to beat Kasich. Ted was unable to do this. I was appalled at his lack of ability. We were screaming at the TV, tell us you didn't raise the taxes Ted or tell us why you did it. He could not even address such a simple question. To make matters worse he stuck his head under Hillary's skirt from the get go making it a hard pull to get Ohio for Obama. Really, I think we need someone who can express our platform clearly. Someone who has his/her own sense of being.

18. Hey thanks for the Ohio perspective.

Some stuff I never would have known since it wasn't national.

[Fuddnik]

15. Strickland is another loser.

Kasich is a complete fascist foot soldier, and Strickland couldn't point that out. It's as bad as losing an election to Sarah Palin.

It's time for the DNC, and the President to admit their mistake and ask Dr. Dean to make another house call.

[Iliyah]

16. Dean would be

excellent, that said, maybe he can work alonside with Strickland, who is NOT A LOSER.

[Pryderi]

17. If not Dean, what abou Ed Rendell? n/t
