Last Sunday on "Meet the Press"

DNC Executive Director Jen O'Malley Dillon send out an email last night, thanking everyone who tuned in to watch Governor Kaine on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, as well as those who wrote in afterward with their thoughts:

Last Sunday, Governor Kaine had a chance to go head-to-head with Republican Chairman Michael Steele on NBC's "Meet the Press." He took the opportunity to discuss some of the important issues facing America, and to show folks what the President and our party have to offer.

Afterward, many of you submitted your thoughts on the program. Here are just a few of the comments we've received so far:

Alma from Moneta, Virginia:

My husband and I watched the show today and thought Governor Kaine did a great job representing the Democratic Party and our issues. Keep up the good work!

Terry from Miami Beach, Florida:

I thought the Governor listened carefully, respectfully and responded thoughtfully. The best line was his response to Steele: "The party of no shouldn't now become the party of no empathy."

Ellen from Las Vegas, Nevada:

I liked it. The segment was the most civilized debate on differences I have heard in a long time. It has been a while.

Julie from Carmel, Indiana:

I enjoyed the conversation between Governor Kaine and RNC Chairman Michael Steele. The Democratic Party needs to stress more than ever that we are a party that includes people with all different views on all subjects ... It is easy for us now to stand back and let the Republicans dig their hole but the American people will look to us to have a clear, detailed and inclusive message as we move forward.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in yesterday, and everyone who took the time to share their thoughts. We hope to continue hearing from you in the weeks and months ahead. It will take all of us working together to continue to grow this party, and to meet the challenges we face as a country.

Thank you for your support,

Jen

Jonah,
It's good to hear others' opinions. These sound like concerned, well informed Democrats. Why doesn't Jen invite these folks to share their thoughts here on the blog or on party builder? I hope to meet many like them at the coming health care initiative open houses.
