Have all of the populists been destroyed yet?
Mission accomplished for the CofC and the DLC?

Dean (the scream)
Edwards
Spitzer
Richardson
Kennedy
Daschle (also anthraxed)


Just curious if there are any left. If so, don't count on them getting any nominations.

1. I don't think of Daschle as a populist.
It's possible Obama will nominate someone on that list. We'll see.

6. Obama
He's more of a populist than anyone on your list. Community Organizing is as populist as it gets. Did you not notice him talking about how change comes bottom-up from the people constantly during his campaign?
