Simon Rosenberg: Reviving the Wimp Factor?

The blogger at No Retreat, No Surrender just lobbed a sharp, pointy dart at the Simon-Rosenberg-for-DNC trial balloon (emphasis added):

... he is not the man the grassroots should want for the job. He is still not firm against the President's war and the GOP has a lot of firepower if he becomes Chair.

 ...While supporting the war is not a kind of position that would disqualify anyone from the position of DNC chair, the way in which Rosenberg defended and continues to defend the president's decision bothers me.

For instance, he gave the RNC ammo on John Gibson's show on Fox News, Sept. 9th of this year. Rosenberg said: "I think the debate that is not happening is whether or not the war was a good idea. The war was a good idea. I think the American people were behind the President."  In that same interview with John Gibson, Rosenberg said: "[t]he President was resolute and strong in his decision to go to war. He may also have been wrong in the way they executed it." Rosenberg's problem is that he says the President MAY have been wrong in the way he executed that while our candidate was very clear that the President WAS wrong. This kind of statement illustrates how Rosenberg cannot lead a strong, aggressive opposition party, which is essential in today's DNC chair.

Sadly, he has many more statements that can be used to handicap the Democratic Party. In the end the RNC will be able to neuter Rosenberg as the mouthpiece of our party and, [as a] close friend of mine here in DC said, "they will turn him into another yippy dog."

Interesting. Very interesting ...
