Sorry, I can’t make it

Generally house and senate races are run on a local or state level. Funding can come from the party but the campaigns are usually handled closer to home where the people are.

Personally I think this will lead to a major fight within the party. Guys like Bart Stupak have districts heavily populated by bitter clingers and trying to run that race from Washington will be disasterous. I also expect that Plouffe will be looking at ways or replacing disobedient blue dogs.

It should be very interesting.

We need to show Democrats that we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. So MoveOn members are organizing an emergency rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday to urge Democrats to show some backbone—starting with passage of a real health care reform bill.

Guess they'll get the usual "rent a crowd" union members sprinkled with washed up ACORN criminals...

Thank you, cripplecreek. It did seem unusually Stalinist, even from him.

I see there's another post about it here:

Obama Moves to Centralize Control Over Party Strategy, New York Times.

I'd like to think he would face a party-splitting, blue dogs snapping, everybody kicking and spitting revolt. And it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

You can count on me too! Yes siree, I’m gonna be there too to save the ..... ah, Home Depot is having a preseason grass seed sale!?! Rockin’good news, I’ll tell the wife. I was thinking about checking out a new mower too.

Boring? Yes they are that. And repetitive. Annoyingly repetitive.

BTW, from the NYT article, it says:

"The day-to-day political operation will be run by Jim Messina, a deputy White House chief of staff, but Mr. Plouffe will coordinate the effort."

Isn't a WH Chief of Staff a govt. position? Paid from public funds? Is O allowed to use public employees for partisan purposes like this?

Funny thing, I can’t either. Amazing coincidence, isn’t it. Of course if they paid me $50 like the will every other attendee . . . No, still not available.
