1. Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean!!!!

He's the man who'll put the spine back into the Democratic Party and empower us grassroots rabble to storm the castle of the elites in both parties. Take our Party back! Then take our Country back!

Kerry didn't fight hard enough in the GE. He had $12-15 million left over from the GE that he should have used to attack Bush. That's not sitting well with the state Dem leaders as well as local activists.

2. no pudding for Tony

from the article:

"Kerry is assuming a day-to-day opposition role unprecedented for recent presidential losers. He has even conferred with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who initially led the Labor Party when it was a minority in Parliament, on how to build an opposition party."

I just hope Kerry gave him some pointers on policy.

4. Strategy and policy different

Obviously there are limits to the areas in which Blair could give meaningful advice. He sure took the wrong path in going along with Bush on Iraq. Despite this, Blair likely has some useful experience to discuss.
