Sometimes I think Democrats really do get what they deserve.

15. If Dean doesn't get the job, I'd rather keep McAuliffe than have DLC scum |
|
Yeah we need Howard now but if he don't get him, is really worth "replacing" Terry McAuliffe with a Repug-lite? Say what you want about McAuliffe, but he is Clinton man. If I had to pick between another year of McAuliffe or new "leadership" under Roemer, I'd go with McAuliffe in a heartbeat. Are we really so desperate to get rid of the incumbent that we let the party get hijacked by anti-choice, repug-lite cooporate puppets?

17. He did nothing for the party |
|
If he stays in it will be Kerry or Hillary in 08'.....neither of whom have any chance of winning.

10. And if so, I hope is she worred |
|
She should be worried, since she lied. With everybody calling their Senators she was the only Dem not to get information about the election fraud.

3. Not at my house they aren't. |
|
We'll be ready for Terry as soon as we get the plank nailed to the side of the ship.
I urged Dean for this post nearly a year ago and I second my own motion this afternoon.
Go Howard!

11. I feel like writing Dean |
|
and telling him to get his ass on TV talking about wanting the position. Otherwise this will fly under the radar and we'll be stuck with McAwful again!

Another Term For McAuliffe"
<b>Democrats Urge DNC Chair To Stay On</b>
By Marc Ambinder
Top Democrats, including New York Sen. Charles Schumer, are working to convince current Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe to stay at his post for at least another twelve months as the party prepares for the 2006 midterm elections. Bloggers like the Daily Kos have made ridding the party of McAuliffe a central political crusade.
Top Democrats, including New York Sen. Charles Schumer, are working to convince current Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe to stay at his post for at least another twelve months as the party prepares for the 2006 midterm elections.
McAuliffe is due to give up the post in five weeks when his four-year term ends at the DNC's winter meeting in Washington, DC.
The Democrats trying to get him to extend his tour of duty fear that the large current crop of candidates for chair has not sufficiently inspired the 440-odd voting members of the national committee, and that a chair without a solid mandate would destabilize the party at the very moment when it most needs a steady hand.

Please McAullife, bow out gracefully. Thank you for trying but we need somebody new.

and we end up with Kerry and Hillary in the primaries......
I'm going to try to draft Wes Clark to run as an independent.
At least if he loses I'll know that I tried for the right guy!

This part is REALLY bad:
> McAuliffe, they > say, could build on his successes and incorporate > many of the ideas > being proposed by those who want to replace him.
What successes? Going from being in striking distance of taking the House and the Senate and the White House to losing all three to the missing link? What bullshit!!!

I would totally go independent. I'm not wasting another vote on someone like Kerry because of Terry's "successful" way of running a party.
If we get stuck with Terry, we will be stuck with Kerry (or someone just like him)
