So the DNC’s bleeding began under then-Governor Tim Kaine as Chair (2009-2011). It was under his watch that the Democrats were shellacked by the Tea Party.

What if President Obama hadn’t requested him as Chair, and had selected someone else to succeed Howard Dean? What if POTUS hadn’t selected Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to succeed Kaine? Where would our country be right now?

Maybe he should have looked less at fundraisers like Kaine and DWS and more at strategists. The primary reason why they were considered as successors to Dean is because they were both good fundraisers.

We need a strategist as chair, not a full-time fundraiser. Ellison’s “3,143 county” seems like a good platform to build on.

Maybe with Ellison as chair, I’ll get less money begs in my email.
