Gary--George Wallace was a solid populist-Democrat with deep grass roots support, who I doubt either of us would support.  I support Tom Perez's transformation of the DNC in that it now exists to get Democrats elected from "Dog Catchers to Senators," and above.  Putting the emphasis at the grass roots level is the only way to give working people influence on policy/platform development and candidate selection.  I would like to see more people take part in the process.  I'd love to see people with science backgrounds recruited to run.  Science denial is epidemic in both parties.
