Is it just me...
I was embarrassed enough that I wasn't aware that the former head of the DNC was my neighbor, but then he's in the national news as a former Clinton staffer endorsing Obama, then in the national news again as he switches from being an Illinois Superdelegate to an Ohio Superdelegate... then he's got 4th billing on a religion/environment symposium.
I'm half expecting my two year old daughter to name one of her stuffed animals "David Wilhelm."
Perhaps He Cloned Himself!
Suddenly he is everywhere.
The name "Adena" came up yesterday - Gov. Strickland and Rep. Space announced a visit to the Adena Medical Research Center to highlight funding for grants and stuff. Is that another Wilhelm connection, I wonder, or is that a common name for things in SE Ohio?
Thanks Jeff!
Jeff, thanks for posting this. The organization's volunteers are thrilled to see the news spreading!
