In creating superdelegates, the Democratic Party recognized the expertise that its top holders of public office have gained by running for office themselves. They are experts at winning. They know the issues. They are in a unique position to evaluate presidential candidates.

There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me.

The beauty of the Democratic Party is in the mix.

I think Obama is handling his image very well, but I think he lacks boldness.

One of the problems we saw in the last presidential election in our party is that our nominee, while winning the election, which we ought never to forget, often lost sight of the difference between strategy and tactics.

Enter the candidates on horseback: While military leaders can sometimes be dangerous in politics, our best generals and admirals embody the democratic values and leadership skills for which the country is yearning.

Democrats believe in reigniting the American dream by removing barriers to success and building ladders of opportunity for all, so everyone can succeed.

We all know that looks matter, and modern politicians have always assumed that their battles are decided on both substance and image.

Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.

The fight is always the same within the Democratic Party, isn't it? The more things change, the more they stay the same.
