Carson just got rejected by a 12% margin for how he ran his own campaign! Making him the high-profile Dem spokesman given his demeanor and style would be excellent...for Republicans.

So who is that now, Howard Dean, Harold Ickes, and Carson up to run the DNC. Anyone else on the grapevine?

"McAuliffe has done a tremendous job raising money and building infrastructure," Parmley said.

And losing...don't forget losing!

[ConservativeMan55]

To start with, Carson knew as of October 20th he would lose and lose big. Carson hired three different polling companies and they each had the same numbers for October 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th ,and 19th.

Each polling company kept a daily tracking record and it showed Carson sliding daily, while he and Brad Luna told us he was climbing in the polls. On October 20th the coordinated campaign started making phones calls to help Daschle in South Dakota.

They conceded defeat in Oklahoma. All the while sending press releases out with doctored polling data showing Carson in the lead. Carson lied to Oklahoma Democrats with these polls and collected over $300,000 from Okies in the closing days of the race, knowing full well he was going

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Brad Carson? How do the Clintons own him?

[michaelbfree]

Isn't this the clown that ran an ad apologizing for lying to the public? A perfect choice for the dem's...although I much prefer the movement to choose Howard Dean thereby ensuring future election losses for the loser party

[Cicero]

Let's get real. This story is being pushed by the Tulsa World. Presumably it originated with Brad Carson, who is looking for a job of some kind.

[Stellar Dendrite]

We want Dean!!

"Now we need a moderate and a conservative to lead us into the mid-term elections."

Conservatives know better then to believe that BS from the Dem Party

If if they do pick a real conservative .. they will lose their base

[NeoCaveman]

Hey C-Man,

I was at an election party last tuesday and started chatting up a lovely intern for an Ohio Republican Senator, the one who happened to be running for re-election this time. She was rooting for Carson over Coburn. I couldn't beleive it.

[Tax-chick]

Brad Carson ... bringing Reservation politics to the DNC ... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Guillermo]

Dean Dean Dean Dean!

(Also, anyone seen the latest conspiracy theory on DU? Karl Rove engineered Dean's defeat in Iowa and NH, because he would have been to formidable a foe.)

[kellynla]

Oh pullllezzzzz keep Teresa McAwful!!! LOL
I mean between ol' Mc, Bubba Klinton and the Traitor I don't know who has done the most for the GOP in the past ten friggin' years!!!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Isn't Carson pro-life? If so, I'd have to assume that his chances of becoming Chairman are 0%.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Well, that would be appropriate for the gay agenda. (It's just my hunch. I know he has a wife, but just wait. Time will prove me right.)

"Now we need a moderate and a conservative to lead us into the mid-term elections."

Donna Brazile is the only person in that party that knows how to win elections. I''m happy they keep her out in the cottonfields on the Democrap plantation.

[Grampa Dave]

He might be more of an asset for us than pyscho Howie Dean!

[dangus]

Carson was an excellent pick for them. He is a true moderate. This pick would signal that they are done screaming, and now they want to get smart and win. The interesting thing is, though, they just got finished explaining McAuliffe was a money man, and not a policy maker.

[adam_az]

One thing is for certain.

Whomever they pick will be someone who is a recent loser of one type or another.

There is one "winner" they could pick...

How about Bill Clinton? ;)

[Bluegrass Conservative]

I don't know, I think this would be a wise choice for the Democrats. Brings them, at least visibly, back to the middle a bit. However, with that being said, the DNC won't pick him because of the risk of pissing off the ultra-left wing peace activists, PETA folks, and all other extremely liberals. They are worried about losing those folks to a stronger third party candidate like Nader was in '00.

My bet? The Democrats are going to try to at least look nominally centrist with their candidate in '08. Despite all the Hilary hoopla, I expect someone like Evan Bayh to be their nominee. If that's the case, the ultra-liberal wing of the party is going to turn to a third party candidate that represents their values . . . someone along the lines of Gavin Newsome (Mayor of San Francisco). Personally, I would love to see that. If Newsome could run strong in California, it would actually bring it into play for whomever the Republican nominee is.

[doug from upland]

I don't know much about him, but from this article, it sounds as if he is far too good to be a DemocRAT. Someone like him could never lead that party of pukes.
