I don't think that should disqualify him, but I do wince at the burgeoning aristocracy of our party. Maybe it's just because I live in Chicago, where my Mayor is the son of a Mayor, my governor the son-in-law of a powerful party elder, my attorney general the daughter of the speaker of the house, my state comptroller the son of the former Cook County treasurer and our newest congressman had his seat deeded over to him by his dad.
What a sick political culture! But if Donnie Fowler becomes a great DNC chair, more power to him.
This is classic cynical politico bullshit. Defend against your most vulnerable side by attacking in that direction.
He talks about the evils wrought by a campaign aristocracy out of touch with Washington. But there are few better example than the son-of-somebody who parlayed his father's position into spots managing campaigns at the national level, consulting for tech firms, bouncing from state to state wherever you could land a sweet spot.
This does NOT look like the resume of someone who got where he is by having a good ear for what American voters want. He has played the insider political game all his life.
