Subject: Re: DRAFT launch statement for progressive media
Statement looks good - so long as the lawyers approve.
I would reach out to Obama supporters. Let me nominate Jamal Simmons. He's young (to me) Af-Am and way smart. He worked in the Clinton White House and now does commentary with me on CNN.
Other prominent African-Americans should be courted, like Donna Brazile.
How 'bout Dee Dee Myers? Not African-American, but rumored to be a woman. Knows the media as well as anyone.
Hispanics, anyone? Can we ask Maria Echaveste but not Chris Edley? (I'm kinda pissed at Chris for telling the NY Times that the Clinton Admin had a mixed record on civil rights. Funny, he didn't say that when he was in the Clinton Admin).
I will keep thinking.
