Reply #20: Terry McAuliffe likes to claim that all the Democratic fundraising was due [View All]

to HIS work.

Uh, nope, sorry Terry. Thank Howard Dean for that. You'd be in the red this year (again) if it weren't for Dean's fundraising techniques in the primaries.

People don't vote based on who the DNC chair is. They don't know who they are, or if, by chance, they DO know, they have no idea what the job entails, and it's not going to lose us voters. Hell, the most politically active people I know have no idea who McAullife is, and the ones that do are not happy - of course, it didn't stop them from voting Democratic. I think Dean would be a very powerful force for organizing and energizing the party, though.

Dean's proven through DFA that he can win races. The fact that we took over so many statehouses was in no small part due to him.

And think about it: We can't POSSIBLY go MORE wrong. As my dad used to say, "If you're going to go down, go down in flames. Who knows, you might actually have come up with a brilliant thought that was never even considered by the greatest minds of the world." *shrug*
