Schweitzer to lead Democratic governors
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer has been elected chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, succeeding West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, officials said.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley was elected vice chairman, a statement said Wednesday.

"The DGA has never been in a stronger position, and Brian Schweitzer is a dynamic leader who will take the organization to the next level," Manchin said. "Brian has made inroads in traditionally conservative-leaning areas because he's honest, practical, and knows how to get results."

Schweitzer said among his top policy goals as DGA chairman are to offer Washington economic solutions that have been successful at the state level and to help restore the state-federal partnership.

2. It's good news
Why shouldn't the lounge hear about it first?

3. Indeed it is.
The Lounge should be on the cutting edge of all news from now on.
