Anyone here dislike Dick Durbin or Stephanie Tubbs-Jones?

Because Kerry chose these two progressive voices to represent his interests at the DNC.

I see this as a clear intention that he wants forceful progressives in positions of power within the DNC.

While Kerry uses moderate tones to convey his message for the campaign to the American people, I am in no doubt that his heart and his policies are most rooted with the left.

2. Yep...Mine too!

Hi,

I've sent so many letters to Sen Durbin...I think I might have made his Christmas card list...lol

Unfortunately, my children went ot school with Sen Fitzgerald's boy while they still lived in the area....what an asshole....only good thing is when he was campaigning at school, I got to tell him EXACTLY what I thought of him. Now THAT was a great day!!

I do like Durbin, I think he has hidden depths...hope we see them come out during the campaign.

Cheers,
Kim

3. Yes, I wish Kerry would focus exclusively on the interests of the

far left, spend all his time pandering to their interests....and lose. :-)

5. I loooove Senator Durbin!

My Senator is similar in many ways; his rhetoric is moderate, but his voting record is very liberal.

6. Both Durbin and Tubbs-Jones are excellent choices

Kerry made a fine choice here.

7. So many are quick to condemn Kerry as a centrist, yet

they refuse to see that the appointments of these two excellent progressives to important DNC posts will set a tone at the DNC for the upcoming years.

I guess they don't understand the nitty gritty of politics and how to spot certain important signs.
