... and was certainly impressed by his ideas for not just winning elections, but for shifting the attitude of the country back away from the right. I especially liked his promise to help bring along media outlets on the Democratic side, like Air America Radio, by helping to fund them through DNC donors.

As far as STRATEGY goes, he's a guy I could find a lot of upsides to.

However, as far as ISSUES go, the one that I cannot get past is his unflinching support for the war on Iraq. Reading statements he made prior to the invasion just makes me want to :puke:.

Would I seriously object to him as DNC chair, a position mainly about strategy and fundraising? No. Would I object to him setting policy and issue stances for the party? Absolutely.
