The only thing I've ever been annoyed about him was his DNC's huge support of blue dogs. The one Congressional candidate from Idaho particularly, having only then recently switched to Dem, rather than the long standing actual Dem running for the Senate. I was very involved with the 2008 IDP and was privy to the $$s flowing through IDP from DNC to candidates and virtually none went to the Senate candidate and tons went to the BlueDog Congressional asshole who won and then voted 98% with Reps and was even the only Dem in the country to be endorsed by the TeaParty.

He screwed up with that. I think I read recently that he recognizes that now, better late than never.

On this topic, I think he's dead on.
