MoveOn Steps Into DNC Chair Contest
2005-01-26
EFL:
MoveOn.org, the online liberal advocacy group, threw its weight into the race for the Democratic National Committee chairmanship by announcing a plan Tuesday for state-by-state endorsements from its nearly 3 million members. The move is expected to help chairman candidate Howard Dean, who finished first in a 2003 straw poll of MoveOn members during his unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Go, Howie, go!
The plan also reflects MoveOn's determination to institutionalize its influence over within the Democratic Party. Founded to protest President Clinton's impeachment in 1998, the group has become one of the party's most farout wacko influential liberal voices, and most effective fundraisers, on a wide range of issues. Dean is generally considered the front-runner in a DNC race that also includes former Reps. Martin Frost of Texas and Tim Roemer of Indiana, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, party operative Donnie Fowler, former Ohio party Chairman David Leland, and Simon Rosenberg, president of the centrist New Democrat Network. On Tuesday, the former Vermont governor won the support of several African American members of the DNC — Yvonne Atkinson Gates, who heads the committee's black caucus; Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois; and Minyon Moore, a former Clinton White House aide.

#8  I still love the answer given by the woman who, when asked who she was going to vote for, said, "I like that nice man, you know, the Dean of Howard College".

#7  MoveOn.org, the online liberal advocacy group

When even the LAT calls you by the "L" word, you know you're way out there.

How perfect! Cutie Moore.

#5  Who in their right mind would name their kid "Minyon"? I suppose we could ask her brothers Bootlick, Rumpswab, and Asskiss.

#2  This DU Article shows how out of touch the Dems really have become. You'll notice that every time a law is passed against gay marriage a judge overturns the will of the people. These are presented as "progress" with voters. I am not sure if I would join a party that likes to overturn my vote at the ballot, it sounds too much like the National Socialist in 1939 and the Commies in 1917. They also swoon over the fact that the didn't lose any solidly Democratic seats to Republicans and that several Right leaning Dems got elected.

One of Bill's minions, y'might say...
