Re: My email to my Senator, Sen. Clinton (none / 0)

If you think that he's been looking unhinged lately, you haven't been watching very closely. And, besides, who really cares what his image is? He's not running for president, for God's sake!

As a matter of fact, a chairman with the reputation for being a bit nutty could be a boon. Think how good he'd be at keeping the Fainthearted Faction in line and "persuading" moderate Republicans to see our point of view.

Re: My email to my Senator, Sen. Clinton (none / 0)

actually, I watched him today on 'This Week' and I'm simply not impressed.  Believe it or not, politics is about image.  And having Dean as the voice and face of the party hoping that he can reach NEW dem voters is like sending Newt Gingrich as an envoy to us.  That is the point as I see it. We do not have a national voice.  Dean will surely get people's attention, but not in a good way.  It's all about casting. The more known a figure is to people the more difficult it is to accept something new from them.  Once one image is accepted and known the more difficult it is to embrace a different image.  I'm not saying it is impossible to overcome the familiarity.  I'm merely saying it takes time.  And the time for the reemergence of Dean is not now.  He needs to rebuild his image on his own time.
