Reply #43: The DNC follows the president's lead.

[JDPriestly]

Dean was head of the DNC because of a strong grass-roots movement to place him there at a time when the president was Republican. You need to get more active in the Democratic Party LostinAnomie.

I was part of the movement that put Dean in power. We just spoke so loudly, so strongly, that there was no choice for the DNC but to appoint Dean. That only works when the president is a Republican.

Have you ever worked on a campaign for a Democratic candidate, LostInAnomie? Have you ever been an officer or even a member in your local Democratic Club or attended a Democratic Convention (state or national) as a delegate?

If you were really active in the Democratic Party, you would understand that the OP is absolutely right.
