Nice tie! Nt spooky3 Nov 2022 #1

If the Dems had listened to Howard about election strategy, the GOP would not have done tblue37 Nov 2022 #2

Howard was pushed out of the Obama administration by Rahm Emmanuel, not out of the party DFW Nov 2022 #11

Thanks for this perspective. Pinback Nov 2022 #27

A really rotten deal for the country DFW Nov 2022 #28

I had originally thought it was because Obama wanted to give it to Daschle. karynnj Nov 2022 #70

I think the result would have been vastly different after the 2006 midterms DFW Nov 2022 #73

+ a million! BlueMTexpat Nov 2022 #41

I only met Rahm once DFW Nov 2022 #44

I had the very great honor BlueMTexpat Nov 2022 #51

Was that by any chance in 2009? DFW Nov 2022 #60

One of the biggest mistakes... 2naSalit Nov 2022 #63

Rahm was from Chicago, and knew his way around Congress. DFW Nov 2022 #65

Love the tie and Howard Tree Lady Nov 2022 #4

One thing Howard regrets mightily is that his run for president got so popular so quickly DFW Nov 2022 #7

He tried and he got me more excited in politics Tree Lady Nov 2022 #9

He absolutely did that for a lot of us - and is still the smartest guy in almost any room Rhiannon12866 Nov 2022 #53

I did too. I knocked on a bunch of doors for Howard in New Hampshire. I lived in New England Lonestarblue Nov 2022 #14

Don't we know THAT!! n/t DFW Nov 2022 #45

Same thing happened to me. crickets Nov 2022 #42

Dean was robbed for the most nebulous of reasons. marble falls Nov 2022 #5

Ummm, I'm afraid not DFW Nov 2022 #46

She's fortunate to have you both as parents. rubbersole Nov 2022 #56
