[quote=Anonymous]The problem with Jealous is that he's the type that wants a platform to pontificate his ideas rather than actually govern. He seeks out national exposure and completely disregards campaigning to help the people he would govern or connecting with them in anyway. He's very similar to Josh Starr who couldn't be bothered to do his job as superintendent or worry about running the school system and instead just focused on making a bigger name for himself, tweeting his grand ideas, and blogging.

The democratic party is seeing a number of new politicians try to climb up the ranks which is not a bad thing at all. The problem though is that some are just spot light seekers rather than those willing to focus on the governing and balancing of constituent interests.  These candidates are bad because instead of getting washed out in the primaries they sustain themselves with funding from their external connections. They then lose the general elections big time wasting an opportunity for their party to get someone who does connect with the voters in office.

Its a real shame because the democratic party lost a winnable seat by putting someone like Jealous up on the ticket. [/quote]
