I watched part of O'Reilly last night, and it struck me that frankly, the only Democrat I can see who could have ANY credibility for the Democratic party is Jerry Brown (now mayor, former governor, former presidential candidate). He can go on national TV and not sound like a nut job like Dean or Clarke. He's not an arrogant idiot like McAuliffe (all bow to the wonderful job he did for us Republicans!) or sKerry (bow in thanks to the Democrats for nominating THAT loser!). Brown sounds moderate, even if he isn't. In many ways, he's the perfect stealth DNC chair, as opposed to the entirely insubstantial slate they have now.
But as noted up thread, Peggy's advice was intended to create a healthy two-party debate on the issues, instead of the screaming and childish temper tantrums of one party; the Dems probably won't take any advice from a Republican unless it is personally approved by x42 or his "co"-president, Shrillary. If they can't win by yelling at you about the eeeeee-vil Republicans, then they think they didn't yell loud enough to get their message across.
"Jerry Brown"
I like Jerry Brown too, for a dem, but I am afraid that like "Screaming" Howard Dean (no flaming, I hate Dean because I am pretty sure he is an abortionist, certainly a radical abortion rights advocate, but I don't really think he is crazy, just because he had an exuberant moment. If that was really the standard, I'd be in Bellvue myself right now), Brown has been permanently branded by the MSM as "Governor Moonbeam".
The MSM may like the left a lot more than the right, but that does not stop them from unfairly mocking people of the left for their own useless amusement. This is a big part of the reason that it is hard to get good, smart, honest people into elected office.
Evan Bayh doesn't sound crazy. He will be the nominee in '08, if they're smart. Of course, they're not.
The Pubs should do everything they can to get Bayh over to the right side. Any Indiana Freepers have opinions on Bayh?
I saw that too, but last time Brown was on he DID come off as a nut case.
governor moonbeam? I believe he said he was going to run for Senate. But I think he would take the DNC chair.
