Just kidding. I think he would be great.

I don't know why DWS took the job anyway. It doesn't make sense for a sitting elected official to do that job. It's too much work.

He is not a straight shooter at all. He's been a Clinton operative this entire primary, and has been spewing pure bullshit towards both Bernie and his supporters.

You've got to be fucking joking if you think Dean would do anything for this rift. It's like throwing salt in the wound.

Why install a figurehead who is going to put a liberal facade on an essentially conservative party?

Debbie is telling us who the Democrats are, we should listen to her.

The next DNC Chair will be a Clinton supporter. Maybe within a few years we can bring further changes to the Democratic Party, through bottom up organizing. The Clinton's still control the curernt party. That is the type of organizing Dean was willing to prioritize before. He is much more temperate than DWS. When she tried to freeze Sanders out of his voter file data base, Dean called her out nationally on it. As matters currently stand, I could accept him as much as anyone the Clinton camp would propose.

A DNC chairman should be one who is significantly progressive and would have an agenda of getting true progressives fielded and elected.
