Reading the excellent analyis by Chris Bowers on MyDD and Ruy Teixera's analysis on Donkey rising reinforced my belief that we need a real "roll up your sleeves" democrat to win rather than a wonky guy reading Shrum's "roll up your sleeves" lines. We have to embody the regular guy as well as say we want to help the regular guy (which face it, sounds paternalistic and off putting coming from a guy like Kerry).
Fortunately, we have the perfect candidate - Ed Rendell, governor of our new model Dem state -- Penn (trending Demo but requires "values" to win).
Who else wants to join the Ed Rendell 2008 committee?
