Agreed. I’m seeing a side of him I did not know about too. This “I inherited a mess” sounds like some other guy – he will not step aside very willingly IMO.

He tends to scare me, embarrass me, and irritate me more than he inspires me so I expect very little. As to his thoughts on the “base” I think he has no idea to be honest with you. He’s one of these “big tent” folks that finally realized that if you’re going to chant that message you must also remind the crowd that you won’t abandon your principles to bring new supporters under said tent. Essentially its his job to appeal to as many people as he possibly can – which is also what leads him into taking all these ridiculous positions on a daily basis. In short – he’s a walking contradiction. He says we aren’t ready to lead and that we wont win in 2010 – but as leader of the Party he wants us to go out and buy his book where he is supposed to give us the playbook for combating the Obama administration? If he has all the answers – why aren’t we fit to lead and why can’t we win in 2010? Im not saying shoot the captain when the boat hits bumpy waters, but I’d sure consider making this cat walk the plank.

I never watch ABC so I did not see this. My only comment is he did a better job of representing himself that I would have predicted. I’d be curious as to just who he thinks “the base” of the party is and who –besides Michaele Steele” thinks “we’ are not ready to lead yet? Can he seriously think it would be difficult to improve on the leadership of Pelosi, Reid and Obama? Did not hear a single critique of the current administration. Lost opportunity.
