Based on the results last November, I cant say Iām happy with the job Tim Kaine has done. He played defense and dis so quite poorly. He had little appeal to progressives. I consider his replacement, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to be much better choice and am pleased with her selection.
Newly elected Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz vowed to aggressively fight Republicans in next year’s elections and help elect President Obama to a second term.
"Let no charge go unanswered. Let no man or woman bear false witness against a Democrat and let no voter cast a ballot for a Republican simply because they don’t know what Democrats have done for them or what Republicans have done to them," said Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman.
She was formally elected by acclimation at today’s DNC meeting.
After the vote, President Obama called in to the meeting to congratulate his choice to lead the party and praised her skills as a multitasker.
"I am reminded of something that Michelle said: If you need something done, give it to a busy woman," Obama said. "Thank you for affirming my selection. Debbie is the right person for the moment, not only because she has got great strategic sense and unbelievable energy. …She embodies the core values of what we cherish in America."… [emphasis added]

If you are not familiar with Debbie, here she is in action discussing health care with Cenk Uygur in March.
Congratulations to Debbie. May her success rate be 100%.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
She does seem to have a greater capacity to get the job done than any DNC chair in quite awhile.
Wasserman Sculltz is a fabulous representative whom I greatly admire. She is a superb choice for this job! GO DEBBIE GO!!!
I’ve had to look up the DNC chairman about 6 times since Tim Kaine was nominated for DNC chair, BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW WHO IT WAS. Hell, we’ve heard more from Howard Dean over the last few years than Kaine. Debbie is going to be great at this. Much better than Kain who essentially did nothing. I hope we didn’t pay that asshole and if we did, we should get our money back. If I didn’t know who was the DNC chair, then I’m sure no one else did either. What a total asshole that man is. š” š”
Good for Debbie – I hope we’ll be hearing a lot more from her. She’s perfect for the job. If it wasn’t her, then I wish it was Alan Grayson. š
A GOOD CHOICE-
I see we’re all in agreement here. Grayson would have been great too.
