Oh, please, no. Not Culver for DNC Chair...

[Skidmore]

our local news just reported that he is possibly up for that position. He's a decent guy but we need someone who is a bit more savvy and can fight for us. I so want Dr. Dean again.

1. Howard Dean is the man.

((((H.D.))))

just busted out my t shirt last week. The wingers want to take their country back? How original!

[peace frog]

2. They won't ask Dean to take over again

He was too successful the first time; they mistakenly concluded that such success was easy to accomplish. After all, we elected a Democratic president, and a Dem-contolled House and Senate in 2008. Boy howdy, how hard could it be to do it again?

Dumbshits. :eyes:

[mahina]

3. They?

They is us, pretty sure.

Don't we vote on the DNC person at convention? Don't we vote at state convention for the folks who do that work?

Just elect the most progressive mofos we can find. Doing so here anyway.

[peace frog]

7. They. Us. You know what I mean.

Thanks for playing.

14. No the DNC chair is not voted at the convention.

When a party is in power the President chooses the chair. When out of power the party national committee (DNC,RNC) chooses the chair.

17. Oops.

Thank you! I wasn't active in our party till 2000 so all I knew was life under the big red thumb. What a refreshing change though.

5. Correction - we elected a "Democratic" president.

Freakin' DINO. Trojan Horse.

[peace frog]

12. True, but what I really want to know is

why do my "trojan horse" posts get deleted but others' in the same vein are allowed to stand? :think:

[AlabamaLibrul]

4. The DNC is a joke and at this point I could give a damn who is the chair n/t

[peace frog]

9. It is a joke now

It became a well-oiled machine when Dean ran the thing. But never mind that, it's as easy as pie to get Democrats elected!!11! :crazy:

[mahina]

11. If we want to get anything done we need somebody with balls (ovaries, whatevas)

a good heart and a sharp mind.

Howard Dean is my pick.

[msongs]

6. evidently no republicans are available at the moment lol nt

[progressoid]

8. Oh God no.

No no no.

I voted for him and I don't want that to happen.

[Skidmore]

10. Me, too.

Reported on KCRG though per Politico.

...Oh please make him the DNC chair, please make him the DNC chair. Please… Please… Please… That would so make my day. What a *gem* they would have in Culver being at the helm. I would only hope he’d run the DNC exactly like he ran the State of Iowa.

15. On a rightwing nut site. So what gives? nt

[Strelnikov_]

16. "only hope he’d run the DNC exactly like he ran the State of Iowa."

Actually, he did a pretty good job. He just got caught in the wave of discontent of election 2010.
