1. Well, he couldn't get DNC Chair

I guess he'll have to settle for a constellation prize.

[AlCzervik]

4. Does he need a telescope to see that?

:D

[durrrty libby]

7. I also wondered about that.

[waiting for hope]

2. Fantastic!

Do you think now the DLC will gain some credibility?

[KoKo]

5. Credibility? Harold Ford has always been DLC...there's no change.

:shrug:

3. Good choice...nt

9. Why? nt.

15. Keeps his name in the papers and keeps his connections with the party

I think he is thinking about taking on Alexander in 2008.

6. Well, they deserve each other

Harold Ford is no Democrat - a stellar member of the DINO crowd

[Generator]

12. Bingo!

This is so fitting for him. It really certifies the real truth of the DLC. And it's not for the people but the corporations. AND I have to add he's one of the lovelies that got on the Bash Kerry bandwagon after the joke. I will never forget that and I doubt I will ever forgive it.

17. What constellation is the DINO nebulous currently located in ?

"Earth to DINO's, earth to DINO's, please come in............................"



Hmmm........ no answer, maybe we try later :shrug:

[politicasista]

8. NO!

11. DLC= snakes in the brush

[xxqqqzme]

13. well that's a marriage

of like minds......hummm lieberman is a former chair - why am I not surprised?

[The Count]

14. Missed Pelosi's chair, then Dean's. now he's back with his own

Makes me think why they tried so hard to plant him where he could do more damage to us...

[Guaranteed]

18. And more damage to our party. nt

16. A pefect fit for his centrist positions IMHO

Can anyone not look sideways at Carville after this?
