Reply #17: About Al...

[FightinNewDem]

As perhaps the only person here who actually knows Al From personally, let me say something...

A guy who worked for Jimmy Carter, Ed Muskie and Sargent Shriver isn't a very convincing Republican.

Look, Al From can be abrasive. He can be provocative. But he is a Democrat to the core. He went out of his way to ensure that the DLC issued numerous scathing critiques of Bush administration policy, particularly on fiscal policy and homeland security. He has worked dilligently to help Democrats such as Jennifer Granholm, Mark Warner, Blanche Lincoln, and a host of state legislators and municipal officials.

He isn't everybody's cup of tea, especially if you don't subscribe to the DLC center-left approach. But trust me, he is not, has never been, and will never be a Republican.
