This is quite a bit of background info on "Shrummy."

Thanks. I skimmed it and will read it in detail later (I just woke up and need lots of coffee before I read about Shrum in detail).

I did note that the author points out how every Shrum candidate is "shrumified" and becomes a fighting working class populist type.

Kerry couldn't have brought Shrum aboard based on his winning percentage.

Shrum

I believe that is supposed to read "Millionaire populist"

Shrum is a hack. He is no Karl Rove.

Two words:

Wellstone Funerally.
