I don’t have a favorite yet, though I am going to Howard Dean’s event tomorrow night here in St. Louis. I lean toward Rosenberg or Dean. I’m strongly against Roemer who would be a disaster all around. Not even because his positions are more conservative, but because he seems to have little idea of how to run a modern campaign. The committees as strong as they could be with Schumer at DSCC, Emanual at DCCC and Richardson at DGA. Roemer does not have the vision for the party and buidling it up from the grassroots. He’ll keep the party focused on consultants and not people.
As much as people like to point to Karl Rove as the great architect of Bush’s victories, one has to remember the reelection is due to grassroots operations that weren’t controlled by the campaign. That’s an important lesson.
