Do you, do you see what they're doing there?

Responses:

Good for him, and us. - Stephen Jan 30, 15:20
Good news for the Democrats. - Dano Jan 30, 15:20 8
- he was a bit of a boob as Lt. Gov in Md. also, reminds me that he campaigned as a Democrat running for the Senate seat -- (link) - pigby Jan 30, 15:32 3
  - That's a bit coy with facts. He was running in a 55% democratic state in a year of massive democratic strength - Will Hunting Jan 30, 15:38
  - He was always too moderate to be anything to them... until Obama was elected -- nm - Stewie, GWB Survivor Jan 30, 15:34 1
    - Course moderate is what they need at this point. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 15:35
- This is exactly what I thought when Howard Dean got the DNC. Good for Republicans. - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 30, 15:21 3
  - Does the job really have much say in terms of policy? -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 15:23 1
    - Only in that he can try to expand the party's fringes ala Dean in 05 for the Dems - Will Hunting Jan 30, 15:29
  - Whatever you thought of Dean, it was pretty clear that he was decent at organizing and fundraising. -- nm - Dano Jan 30, 15:22
It's bad timing. It looks like a gimmick. sigh -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 30, 15:19 9
- He considered a run for the chairmanship back in '07. - Stephen Jan 30, 15:24 3
  - and? The gimmick is electing him, not him running - Stewie, GWB Survivor Jan 30, 15:32 1
    - Yeah...a gimmick that took six ballots to coordinate? - Stephen Jan 30, 15:41
  - I said it looks like one. Most people that don't follow politics will see it as one. - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 30, 15:26
- Yes, it certainly does - Stewie, GWB Survivor Jan 30, 15:21 4
  - You mean Sarah Palin for VP wasn't a Hillary knee jerk nomination? -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 30, 15:21 3
    - Or McCain was really looking for a good reason not to have won. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with uh, uhm... Jan 30, 15:23
    - Wow, for a moment there I'd repressed her -- nm - Stewie, GWB Survivor Jan 30, 15:22 1
      - 'elp! 'elp! I'm bein' repressed! -- nm - S.Palin Jan 30, 15:33
Buddy loses by narrow margin. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, B4 Jan 30, 15:18
