Someone who is a populist barnstormer. Someone who talks like those constituents. Someone who can connect and talk honestly about their faith. Someone who can connect their values clearly and concisely to liberal ideals. Let's be honest, we've sucked at choosing those people for a while.

The problem is in media, not message. We've ceded a lot of ground to the GOP on things that have f*ck-all to do with actual content of the agenda, liberal or moderate. It's time liberals running for office shut up about ideals until after they've stooped to eating crappy pie and kissing babies and connected to the constituents. Nobody trusts politicians, but they trust people they genuinely connect to.
