January 29, 2005Rosenberg, Dean Pick up DNC VotesBy Karl-Thomas MusselmanWhile many more DNC votes will likely be made public after this weekend (and while Frost is busy makeing the Dean v. Frost race about ideology again instead of reform), Rosenberg and Dean make their final round of DNC endorsements. First, Dean picks up the endorsement of former DNC Chair candidate Harold Ickes, the best indicator of what the Clintons may be thinking...
Also, Dean picked up just under 20 more DNC votes today, many from California, but a mix as before. Steven K. Alari - California DNC Committeeman and DNC Executive Committee Member Jeremy Bernard - DNC Member-at-Large Rachel Binah - California DNC Committeewoman, Former Chair of the Environmental Caucus, California Democratic Party Mary Ellen Early - California DNC Committeewoman Ed Espinoza - California DNC Committeeman Jimmie Farris - Tennessee DNC Committeewoman Hon. Mike Fitzgerald - DNC Member, Chair of National Association of Democratic State Treasurers Alice Huffman - California DNC Committeewoman and Chair of 2004 Democratic National Convention Hon. Pete Jorgensen - Wyoming DNC Committeeman Johnnie Patton - Mississippi DNC Committeewoman Alexandra Gallardo Rooker - California DNC Committeewoman, Vice-Chair of the California State Democratic Party and Vice President CWA Local 9400 Aleita J. Huguenin - California DNC Committeewoman John A. Perez - California DNC Committeeman and UFCW Local 324 Political Director Garry S. Shay - California DNC Committeeman Smith Bagley - Former DNC Finance Vice-Chair Hon. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) Hon. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) Debra DeLee - Former Chair of the DNC and CEO of 1996 Democratic National Convention Hon. Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.) Notice the Labor tags on a couple of those endorsements. Could be indicative of where labor is going, or at least that Dean is making sure he isn't getting left out with that crowd. Also, Rosenberg announces 4 DNC votes, bumping him up in the "DNC Votes Not From My Home State" category. DNC Members Mark Bryant (MO), Gloria Nieto (At-Large, NM), and Moretta Bosley and Jo Etta Wickliffe (KY) are behind him now. (The Simon for Chair website is down so I have no link.)

If my memory recalls correctly, it was Dean's supporters who went after Frost on ideology first... I don't see why Frost isn't entitled to defend his record from such attacks, then make some distinctions of his own. Posted by: Byron L at January 29, 2005 11:21 AMIndeed, Ickes' support will make Clintonistas at least willing to give serious consideration to voting for Dean. And Hillary's association with Dean might cause some of the Hillary-bashers on the left of the party to speak more kindly of her. Posted by: Tim Z. at January 29, 2005 01:15 PMByron - I don't think these "attacks" were on ideology -- I haven't heard that Frost is insufficiently liberal (which is the argument against Roemer), but rather that he's insufficiently partisan. I still haven't heard any good reasons for why Frost had to say "stood with President Bush" half a dozen times in that ad. I don't think we'd be hearing this if Frost's ad read: "Sessions was so out of the mainstream that he voted against the bipartisan consensus of the president, the Democrats, and 95% of his own party. Martin Frost is a Democrat who can work with President Bush to help make your values part of the law" or some such. Do you seriously not realize that's what pisses people off? I agree with you and Jim that it was a fine idea to paint Sessions as part of the lunatic fringe, but there are literally thousands of better ways to make that point than to list off/priase notable Republicans. I keep hearing "that's the only way he could win!", only the truth is, it wasn't, he didn't, and rather than showing how Democrats are different/better than Republicans for ordinary people, it creates the appearance that Democrats ought to just phone it in and follow the GOP. I doubt that's what Frost wanted (he just wanted to win), but you have to admit that that's one hell of a bad lead-off to a campaign for DNC chair. Posted by: Matt W. at January 30, 2005 03:00 AM
