Bernie Sanders hires Tad Devine as campaign advisor
   
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has spent months fishing for a strategist to guide his potential 2016 presidential campaign. On Monday, he hooked a big one: Tad Devine, one of the Democratic Party’s leading consultants and a former high-level campaign aide to Al Gore, John Kerry, and Michael Dukakis.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/11/11/tad-devine-signs-on-to-work-with-bernie-sanders-on-potential-2016-run/

In Jerome Armstrong's and Marcos Moulitsas Zuniga's book CRASHING THE GATE: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics, Devine was lumped into the category of party hacks along with Bob Shrum because of their ability to get themselves hired again and again, despite terrible losing records.

During the Kerry campaign, when the question of having Joe Lieberman campaign for him came up, Devine stated, "I'd argue that the DLC fits our mold and Joe Lieberman is going to be out there actively campaigning for us.''

BERNIE'S GONNA RUN!!!   :yahoo:


But wait!

1. Doesn't sound like a great choice to me. The campaigns he is associated with were badly run

2. Gore. Kerry. Dukakis. The man knows how to pick a winner.
 
BWAH!

Hm-m-m.

Kinda makes you wonder about the ol' geezer's decision making capabilities.

10. He has worked for Sanders campaigns in the past

Whoever was instrumental behind the turnaround of Kerry's primary campaign deserves credit.

I'll vote for him regardless of campaign advisor.

Redemption?

11. Kerry's campaign didn't turn around because of anything Kerry's campaign did

It was the collapse of Howard Dean that gifted Kerry the nomination in 2004.

13. He's a dud on the tube

Have seen him many times. Slow-footed and scripted. He must be a little better behind the scenes, right? Right?

Sanders is now the perfect socialist.

**** the practical results, we want political reliability.

The more the merrier.  Maybe the DUmmies can trot out Sandra Fluke for a pResidential run as well.  I think I have enough power left in the defibrillator battery to jump-start another Ralph Nader campaign.  I wonder what Howard Dean is up to nowadays?? :fuelfire: :fuelfire:

The DUmmies don't seem to know what Frank knows.  Bernie Sanders when he speaks, emits humongous amounts of spit and phlegm and spray.  Nobody's going to stomach that for a minute, let alone vote for an actual Socialist.  What is wrong with them?

H5 for the best title in a long time.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe
