Daily Kos :: Comments Clinton camp likely to speak with Gore

If they're better than Rove, (0+ / 0-)

then it sure would be nice if they used some of that machine to really support progressive Democrats and the party as a whole, as Rove did with the GOP base & grassroots organization. My take on this, though, is that they may be somewhat more effective than Rove because their machine's built for a two-person party more than a national one.

- Actually Rove did not (0+ / 0-)
  
  he was interested in maintaining power rather than advancing conservatism. Examples include the Medicare bill, W's massive spending, and supporting Arlen Specter over wingnut Pat Toomey (who almost won in 2004, and would have if not for Rove's intervention).
  
  Secondly, the Rethug base has been there for 25-30 years, and ours is just in its infancy. We are where they were in the late 1970s.
