Wellington Webb, at least saying the right things
I'm not going to make this a Webb for DNC chair blog, but it seems at least this guy is saying all the right stuff. Maybe he's a good comprosmise candidate between Dean and Rosenberg.
Echoing the theme of a 50-state campaign, an African-American former mayor of Denver, Wellington Webb, will also speak on Saturday to make the case that the party should be led by someone from a Western state."Our next chairperson should come from a 'red state' and should not be from inside the Washington, D.C., Beltway," Mr. Webb wrote in a letter to Democrats promoting his candidacy.
A current vice chairman of the committee, Mr. Webb is also calling on Democrats to develop a message "to target Southern and Western states rather than writing off these important voting parts of the country before the election even starts."
Like Dr. Dean, he is calling for building the party "from the bottom up," and is urging the party not to choose a leader with any ties to a 2008 presidential candidate.
