Showing Original Post only (View all)Steve Leser for VP! [View all]
I've noticed a pretty strong correlation between the amount that DU hates a person, and how effective that person is in promoting progressive policies and moving the nation in the right direction. For example, as of now the two most hated people on DU are Obama and Hillary Clinton, both great Democratic leaders, one a transformative president, and the other likely to be the next president to protect and extend on Obama's legacy of progressive accomplishments.
But who should be VP? Well, based on the DU hate-o-meter, for some reason a journalist named Steve Leser is getting pounded almost as hard as Clinton and Obama. I don't know if he'd consider a run for office, but in my mind there isn't a much better endorsement that a person can receive than being detested by the same group that has spent the last 7 years attacking Obama.
Steve for VP!
