 The House that Rahm BuiltPosted on Nov 14, 2006
Ruthless, savvy and profane, DCCC chair Rahm Emanuel played perhaps the largest single role in orchestrating 28 House victories for the Democrats last week. The Chicago Tribune used unprecedented backstage access over the course of the campaign to craft this gripping portrait of a master in action.

Down with the disgusting mockery that we call democracy! Too long have the voices of the mass of america, people un-satisfied with this country, gone unheard!

What? A master? Only 8 of the 22 key races he choose to concentrate on came through. Most if not all of those candidates he backed were pro war. He dumped millions into races to beat progressives in some of the primaries (see Ill-6) which could’ve been used in races we narrowly lost. Democrats did well despite Rahm’s best efforts not because of them.

Congratulations to Rahm!!!!Someone has to do the job and he did what he had to. He needs to focus his energy now on the Democratic leadership to make sure they don’t waste the opportunity they have.
The world is running out of time and the USA is running out of time to find solutions to the ills of this world and this country.
Rahm, you go dude!!!!!

Dean, Toyota and Market Share
Toyota, for example, with precision and ruthless honesty determines customer preferences today and what world events such as rising oil prices, pollution etc will mean for future customer preferences. They plan for the future and gain market share.
General Motors, for example, habitually ignores future consequences and concommitant customer desires to reap the highest rewards today, ceding future market share to Toyota.
Dean got civil unions for Vermont. He got universal health care for Vermont. He balanced the budget.
It is not surprising that his CEO talents played such a large role in the Dems recent victories.
My hat’s off to the Toyota man, Howard Dean.

Too much already of these wheeler-dealer politicos. From now on it’s we the people who are the deciders, not them. Their assignment will be to take care of the nitty-gritty of law-making as per our instructions. They won’t like it? Too bad!
