TPM reports Reid Tasks Schumer With Top Dem Messaging Job "In a sign that Democrats hope to do a better job claiming credit for their accomplishments, and emphasizing the differences between themselves and the GOP, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has merged the Senate Dems' policy and communications shops, and tasked Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) with chairing the new office as a member of party leadership. Schumer has developed a reputation among his colleagues, and across Washington, as a shrewd political strategist and a master of message control."
Really?!?! I know that Schumer likes to talk a lot and I generally like his policies, but he's the best the Democrats can come up with for messaging? I've never found him to be particularly effective in interviews. He can state his own position, but has he ever convinced anyone of anything they didn't already believe?
Update: After a little thought, I think Al Frankin would do much better.
