I've located Carmen San Diego, now where the hell is Jamie Harrison.

There are the best and most effective ad makers right here in Hollywood and NYC chomping at the bit to help out
Old time tactics are out the window when it comes to this iteration of the Republican party, and the DNC isn't using all the resources available to them.
Why ????
Fuck being nice. This is NOT your father's republican party 🙄

Friends living in SC said that Jamie's too much of a gentleman for politics. They still voted for him anyway even though trump butt-kisser, lap dog and more than likely being black-mailed Lindsey Graham won by such a mysterious and large margin as he always does. They also told me what most of us know and it's that most of the folks voting for the lap dog/tRump butt-killer, but they only want him in there because the has an (R) by his name. He also does nothing for the folks back home and barely spends time there unless he's staked out in his fancy, new big house.

One of Obama’s biggest initial mistakes was letting Rahm Emmanuel freeze Howard out of Obama’s administration. Howard took it in stride, but I know he was disappointed. I asked him in February of 2009 what he would do if he was indeed frozen out. He said he would probably join some Law Firm, trading some steady income (for him) for name recognition (for them), and spend the rest of his time “raising hell for causes I care about.”

True to his word, he has done exactly that. Few ever mention his march to the Thai-Burmese border to bring attention to human trafficking, or his environmental work. Bernie Sanders wouldn’t even speak to Howard for 4 years after Howard won a dispute about not giving some land in Burlington to some developers to put up buildings near the lake. Also, Judy was getting a little tired of her “almost widow” status during Howard’s DNC days, and I don’t think she would have moved to Washington even if Howard had been named HHS Secretary. He has always kept his family life separate from his public career, and that has never changed. I think Judy would have clobbered him with a metal frying pan if he had been elected President.

The effective dedication Howard gave the DNC is now being directed to his family, which they feel they deserve after playing second fiddle to his stellar performance as DNC Chair.
