Napolitano to lead DNC Platform Drafting Committee

The DNC just announced that "Governor Napolitano will chair the Platform Drafting Committee. Michael Yaki will serve as National Platform Director and Karen Kornbluh will be the Principal Author of the Platform."

Democrats in all 50 states will have "Platform Meetings", where the Obama campaign will send representatives.

Napolitano, the Democratic Governor of Arizona, has been rumored as a possible Vice Presidential candidate or Attorney General -- and her political sensibilities tend to echo Obama. Karen Kornbluh ran Obama's Senate Policy shop.

The drafing committee is a mix of Obama advisers, Clinton advisers, and major supporters for both.

Unlike the GOP, the Democratic primary was defined by personal, not major ideological differences, so drafting the platform probably won't lead to rifts.
