Reply #61: Paul Begala isn't right for the job.

[talk hard]

After having observed Mr. Begala on Crossfire until Bob Novak stunk up the show with outing the CIA agent, I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Begala is a centrist, plain and simple.

And not equipped for DNC chair.

I don't want a nice guy. A communicator. I want someone that will make the Republicans tear out their hair.

I want Howard Dean for DNC chair.

They make fun of him but it is clear his successful populist message scares the crap out of the lords of the red states. Dean is too controversial to be a successful presidential candidate, but he is tailor-made for DNC chair.

And I still think McAullife did a good job organizing, fund raising, and making the party solvent. He was not responsible for the candidate, the message, the policies, etc. He doesn't represent the DLC. He did a good job, and I think it would behoove some people to understand that and not be bamboozled by misguided gratuitous attacks on him.
