Related: About this forumNew DNC head Brandon Davis
Brandon Davis
In 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama sewed up the nomination, his team rushed to fill the ranks of the Democratic National Committee. That is normal, as the committees No. 1 task is to support the presidential campaign (the Senate and House Democrats have their own committees).
If you remember, Howard Dean was the head of the DNC at the time, and he remained nominally in charge, but Obamas team was in full control. Dean had been moved to the sidelines. It wasnt an antagonistic move. It simply meant that the presidential campaign and the DNC had to be in sync, and the best way to manage that is to have people from the same team in charge.

This scenario is also the norm.
