Clinton was not as conservative as Bayh or Warner. Your party keeps moving to the left.

Bayh and Warner are to the left of Bill Clinton on the political spectrum.  Why do you keep calling them conservative?  Because one  opposes still birth abortions and the other was endorsed by the NRA?

In my opinion, both are to the right of Clinton. Anyway, your party keeps moving to the left. The party that picked Howard Dean as their Chairman won't have someone like Bayh or Warner as their nominee.

In case you didn't know, the establishment chooses the DNC Chair, not the people of the United States.  So, don't blame us for that.  And secondly, the DNC chair isn't a political position; his role is to help out every Democrat running for political office in the United States by fundraising and campaigning.  So, even if he is a "far-leftist", it doesn't matter; ideology plays no part in that position.

Whoever he is, he's an idiot. Roughly everything about his projection is wrong. Actually I'm not sure how you would make it worse... maybe project Don King to win or something.

Calling people names isn't an intellegent way to express feeling.

The establishment also has a lot of influence in the primary. And how can you say DNC Chair isn't a political position? That just doesn't make sense.

And why is that?  Because he writes the platform?

Uh...because he's the head of a party. That would certainly make it political.

How HE feels about issues matters not; he is just a tool of the party: that's his job.
