Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine said Tuesday he hasn't talked with anyone about leaving his post for a job in the White House.

Kaine didn't dismiss outright reports over the weekend suggesting that he might move to a cabinet position in order to allow White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs would take over operations at the DNC.

But Kaine did say that he was unaware of any discussions about a move that would see him leave the DNC, and said he'd spoken with Gibbs about the speculation.

"I serve at the election of the members, but also, it's no surprise I serve because the president asked me," Kaine said on the liberal Bill Press radio show. "If he ever wants somebody else to do the job, I'm sure he'll tell me. But I'm all systems go."

2. From Dean to Kaine to Gibbs?

What, is Todd Palin too busy? Who's running this circus, Newt Gingrich?

You'd think they were trying to sink the party or something.

5. Why would he leave? He's done such a great job.

All the last guy did was deliver two massive landslide elections for Dems. Whoo... but look at the poll numbers now! Way to go, Kaine!

6. He's done such a bang-up job that the Dems forgot about him.
