By that I mean someone with a working class accent and someone with a sense of humor but will also snap at someone who is giving them crap. I know Snowstalker would vote for him or her but would they win a dem primary? I think Schumer would be a good 2016 nominee as the "Al Smith" candidate.

We've been talking up Schweitzer for ages; why in the world would your mind go to Chuck Schumer?

By working class accent you mean a heavy Midwest accent?

Schumer is roughly the opposite of a "rough and tumble" candidate.

But yes, Schweitzer is a potential dark horse; a progressive who acts conservative, really. The problem is that, though he would appeal to Dean's base of men, youth, and Democratic bloggers (Tongue), he wouldn't be as attractive to women and minorities.
