Well thank you very much, kind Sir! But who is Ted? Once in a while we find pearls of wisdom that express our sentiments exactly and conveys it in words that we cannot find. "No one wants to be head of the Democrat National Committee. This is bad but understandable. A fractious party has been further fractured by a hard year. What you need for DNC chairman is a man or woman of some stature who can make the case for your party day in and day out in big media. Fund-raising expertise is secondary -- hire someone to do it. So is organizational skill -- hire organizers. You need someone who makes the Democrat Party look nonsleazy, nonmanipulative and nonweak on TV. He doesn't have to be nationally known, but he must be -- how to put this? -- good-natured, moderate in manner, and normal-seeming. That would mean not Howard Dean. ... Nothing sobers like defeat. Use the new sobriety to shake off the mad left. This is the best chance you've had all century! ... The Groups -- all the left-wing outfits from the abortion people to the enviros -- didn't deliver in the last election, and not because they didn't try. They worked their hearts out. But they had no one to deliver. They had only money. The secret: Nobody likes them. Nobody! No matter how you feel about abortion, no one likes pro-abortion fanatics; no one likes mad scientists who cook environmental data. Or rather only rich and creepy people like them. Stand up to the Groups." --Peggy Noonan
