Hunkering Down
We're an opposition party now. We have to start acting like it. Kos has a fabulous idea to that end, one I've had before: Howard Dean for DNC chair. And it's about time we had Democratic congressional leadership that doesn't come from heavy Republican states, while we're cleaning house.

Dean for DNC chair, Durbin (or Kerry?) for Senate leader. One good thing about being down 55-45 in the Senate (yes, there's one good thing): we no longer have to protect red-state Democrats with half-measures and meager criticism.

And, oh yeah, Bob Shrum should never again run a Presidential campaign.
