The Democratic Leadership is making an early move to consolidate ....

their power. Before anyone is permitted time to discuss any future moves of the Party, by liberals and others, the Al Fromm wing is going to get Harry Reid, from a Republican state, and Vilsack from Iowa into the major leadership positions before there are any challenges. But that transparent move is not going to silence the left wing that held their voices for the last couple of elections at the suggestion of this same "leadership". We know their game.

1. They'll make Dean the official DNC trash collector.

2. If the Democratic Party moves to the right...

...I'm moving Green.

4. We could use you to take back our Party.

I'm not ready to surrender.

3. ....

Our "leaders" are in the process of rolling over again to the Republicans in congress. I say no more!

Let's take them down!

[Julien Sorel]

5. Al From, the puppetmaster.

7. the other Democratic Senators voted for Reid who had served as whip

it's common for whip to move on to leadership position once the person who had been serving as leader leaves for whatever reason.

none of the other democrats challenged reid.

and durbin supports vilsack as dnc chair also. is durbin from the al from wing ?

9. "it's common for whimp to move on to leadership position'

I don't believe there's an "h" in wimp, but otherwise that appears to be the case, unfortunately :(

11. I've lost a lot of respect for Durbin over his support of Vilsack

Durbin's four years away from re-election. He's in the Senate Class II.

I have a long memory and live in Illinois.

8. Vilsack to head the DNC? I become a Green - that's it.

I can't stand it anymore.

10. Reid is awesome. I think you guys are overreacting on this.

They could have chosen folks who are very bad.

12. The DLC are like psychopathic rats on a sinking ship

They'd rather stay on a sinking boat scrambling to the tallest part of the ship than try to keep the ship afloat.

13. The left, African Americans, others ...

what can be done? Neglected by the Dems, but the GOP is the enemy. How do we break out of the ghetto the DLC has so many of us inhabiting?
