SIMON ROSENBERG IS THE ONE PERSON KARL ROVE DOES NOT WANT AS CHAIRMAN OF OUR PARTY – SAYS ANDREW
LEADING INDIANA DEMOCRAT JOINS GROWING LIST OF PROMINENT SUPPORTERS IN SIMON’S BID TO LEAD DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Washington, D.C. – Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Joe Andrew is the latest prominent Democrat to endorse Simon Rosenberg in his quest to become the next Chairman of the Democratic Party. (For more on Simon visit www.simonforchair.org). In a seven page letter to DNC members, Andrew outlines his criteria for selecting the best leader to lead the Democratic Party and his reasons for deciding to endorse Rosenberg to be the next DNC Chairman (see letter attached).
"Simon Rosenberg is the person Karl Rove does not want as Chairman of our Party,†said Andrew. “We cannot afford to play it safe now. In order to beat the Republicans, we must modernize and re-imagine our Party. That is why today I am endorsing Simon Rosenberg for National Chair of the Democratic National Committee. As the President and founder of the New Democrat Network, he runs an organization dedicated to modernizing the Party. He has successfully run an organization that is more like the DNC, and more like what the DNC ought to be, than any other candidate.â€
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of a former DNC Chair who has served his Party and the great state of Indiana so well and with so much pride and dedication over the years,†said Rosenberg. “As a former Party leader, Joe understands better than most the challenges and opportunities that face our next DNC Chair. Joe knows what it takes to make a winning Party and that is why I am so proud to have his support.â€
"He brings people of all backgrounds together like Bill Clinton did, and like our former President, Simon is willing to make the hard choices, added Andrew. “Simon is a uniter, who brings together the left and the right of our Party and knows how to win. From the Clinton War Room, to the mastery of the internet, to the support for minority media, he has delivered the message, raised the money, organized the mechanics, and managed the result as well as anyone I have ever known. "
Prominent Democrats who have already endorsed Simon Rosenberg include: Representatives Ben Chandler of Kentucky, Artur Davis of Alabama, Loretta Sanchez of California, Adam Smith of Washington, former Alaska governor Tony Knowles, prominent Democrat Chris Heinz, Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion, Georgia State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, Delaware State Treasurer Jack Markell and Kentucky State Treasurer Jonathan Miller. Yesterday, Mike McCurry, Joe Trippi, Rob Stein, Sergio Bendixen and Christine Varney joined the growing list of prominent Democrats from across the country and from all parts of the Party who have endorsed Simon Rosenberg in his bid to be the next DNC Chairman.

Several of the names here suggest that this is the candidate of the clintonoid faction. If Terry McAuliffe has has to go, evidently Rosenberg has been named as the new McAuliffe.
I can't place all the names, but several are clinton insiders, and Clinton the Triangulator is the stellar model on which the New Model Party is to be based.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL.......here comes SCREAM 2
Chrissy posted about this on DU yesterday. Anyway, how does being the son of an over-bearin b*tch qualify him to lend his endoresment to anybody?
Joe Trippi worked on Edward Kennedy, Walter Mondale, Gary Hart and Howard Dean's campaigns.
From what I've been reading on the Dark Side - Chris Heinz is thinking of running for office and the DUers are all for it. The DUers are in love with him just because he posts on DU once in a while. That automatically makes him a star in their eyes.
LOL
The plot thickens!
Yes, you're right. I was already taking another look. There were enough clintonoids in the Kerry campaign to obscure the lines. And I suppose anyone can set up bill clinton as their model without necessarily meaning it.
Howard Dean doesn't seem to have many national party-pro connections, although he still has a loyal grassroots following that regret his abrupt departure from the scene.
Looks like the Clintons still have their grip on the DNC and Dean is not going to get anywhere near that. If the Dems want change they are not going to get it until the Clintons get out of power.
Translation: Like Bill Clinton, Simon Rosenberg has proven to be particularly adept at portraying himself and the Democrat Party as moderate, fiscally conservative and in touch with most Americans' values - instead of the anti-freedom, anti-capitalism cultural Marxists they really are.
Go Howie Go,we need a LEADER.
Chris Heinz is a vicious little puke. He has none of his late father's class, but all of his mother's crass, along with a heaping dose of his stepdaddy's arrogance - he showed it during the campaign. He's a perfect candidate to run for office in the Dem party.
I'm sure Karl Rove is quaking in his boots...from
laught ing so hard!
Any relation to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?
(ENDORSED BY CHRIS HEINZ TOO)
And that should mean something ... WHY??????????????/
Just pointing out how the endorsements are going since the MSM seems to be only focusing on Dean for Chairman.
speaking of the dark side..have the folks at DU, or MoveOn, or the dailykos endorsed anyone?
Oh, I didn't mean that towards you...I meant it towards the author of the article. :) Sorry. Aplogize. No harm intended. :)
