Donna Brazile should stay as long-term chair, IMO. Her resume without ever having held elected office:

• Lobbied heavily to get MLK Day recognized as a federal holiday
• Volunteered for Carter-Mondale in 1976 and 1980 as a teenager
• first African-American woman to manage a major party presidential campaign (Al Gore, 2000)
• Served as Chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Voting Rights Institute (2001-2009)
• Previously interimed as chair between Kaine and Wasserman-Schultz in 2011
• DNC Vice Chair of Voter Registration and Participation since 2009
• Fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government
• Adjunct Professor of Women and Gender Studies at Georgetown University
• Second African-American to serve in a chairship capacity since the late Ron Brown (1989-1993)
• Brought up the issue of George H.W. Bush’s alleged extramarital affair which got her fired from Dukakis’ campaign in 1988, but which was later used by Bill Clinton (irony?) against the elder Bush in 1992.
• Was instrumental in penalizing Florida and Michigan’s Democratic parties for moving their primaries against DNC rules in 2008.
• Member of the Board of Directors of the Louisiana Recovery Authority under Governor Blanco (2005-2009)
• Says what she feels: “Look, I’m a woman, so I like Hillary. I’m black; I like Obama. But I’m also grumpy, so I like John McCain.” (2008)
• Arguably the most powerful woman in the DNC for years.
• NOT A POLITICIAN. HELLO?!
