Blog: Simon Rosenberg

Last week I spent a few days in Washington, DC, meeting with Congressman Rick Boucher (D-VA) for IPac, Gigi Sohn of Public Knowledge, and Tom Manatos in Nancy Pelosi's office for Drinking Liberally. I also got to see RFD, site of the DC Drinking Liberally, even though I wasn't able to stay for Drinking Liberally itself - unable because that Thursday night, Simon Rosenberg spoke at The Tank about his candidacy for DNC chair, followed by a panel about the race the next day. All in all, between visiting the capital and the Capitol, and the gaggle of Democrats gathered in New York for the DNC meeting, it was a politician-filled week.

P.S. I've added a few new themes, like this and this, plus these strange signs as a tribute to Mike's Satan's Laundromat.

I got to meet Simon Rosenberg in November when he spoke on a panel at the Morning After Conference. Simon gets it. Of all the people I've met or heard from who are experienced and well-connected in Washington, best articulates the problems the Democratic Party faces as well as what we can do to attack them. He has proven that he can build an effective organization that gets things done instead of wasting money. If he can make the DNC run even halfway like NDN, we'll be able to start winning.
