Democrats Mounting Efforts
On several fronts, Democrats are mounting efforts to win the election in '08.
First, many presidential hopefuls joined a meeting of Florida Democrats to mingle and test messages on favorable audiences. Read more in today's Chicago Tribune. The attending potential candidates include Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, Virginia Governor Mark Warner, '04 Vice-Presidential Candidate John Edwards, and Illinois Senator Barack Obama. (Although Sen. Obama has denied that he would pursue the Democratic nomination in '08).
Second, Democratic Congressional Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel has pestered fellow Illinoisan, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, with endless open letters. Hastert's staff have pointed to the possibility that Emanuel is behind unfounded charges of corruption against Hastert. The two have a history reaching all the way back to 1986. The Tribune today blames Emanuel for a shift towards more partisanship in the Illinois delegation.
