I bet Harold Ickes is the next chair of the DNC
Same old same old. Another Clintonista, and if that happens, I'm out of the democratic party. I'll vote for dems on the state level, but beyond that, if it looks like the party is pushing Hillary, I'm done. Not another cent or another vote.

2. don't know much about Ickes but Hillary, I would support ...
I don't think she would lie down easily. Isn't she liked in New York? Had someone tell me they were in a forum she was in and the woman is like Bill only even better with the way she handles the public. And this came from a repug and was said with some respect and fear for her abilities.

4. I can't think of a worse candidate than Hillary
She got into the Senate and veered as fast as she could to the Center, setting herself up for the nomination. No one mobilizes rethugs like her. Even a lot of dems can't stand her. I'm one of them.

6. Hill lost me
when she not only backed * on the war, but was a cheerleader for him at the State of the Union address when he lied, lied, lied.
Nope, no more repuglites for me. From now on it is radical progressives like Dean and Dennis. The tug of war for the heart of our party has to begin NOW.

Grab a rope and start pulling.

:bounce:

3. It'll be a Clintonista. Ickes is probably it.
Anyone who thought they'd go for someone like Dean is smoking something.

5. He and Simon Rosenberg
of the New Democrat Network are "debating", somehow showing both sides of an issue, on C-SPAN right now.

8. For the first time, I understand what all of you have been saying
about not much differences between the parties while listening to these two. Both sound like Republican to me. If people like these purport to be our leaders, then we need to do something to change our leadership.

9. I did well under Clinton's administration and had opportunities
which I'm sure will never be available to us again. However, these are different times which call for different ways of thinking about issues. Bless Bill Clinton for his contributions, but I think it's time to retire that corporate approach to government, especially now that corporate foxes have full run of the hen house. We no longer have divided government to check blatant greed and excess.
