Washington, DC:
I just got a note from one of my pals who serves as a member of the Democratic National Committee here from California.
Looks like ubber-libber Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is going to be the new leader and chairwoman of the troubled DNC for the 2012 election cycle.
Yep. President Barack Obama picked Wasserman Schultz as the incoming chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. The Democrats just announced the news just a couple of hours ago.
Wasserman Schultz, 44, is one of the "new crop" of "Obama Democrats" who rose to power in 2005 after see won a seat in the House of Representatives to Florida's 20th Congressional district (Fort Lauderdale, and as far south as Miami Beach).
She has her work cut out for her. The Democratic National Party is a total mess. I don't envy the job she is going to have to do to "clean house" over at the DNC and to get back on track after a horrible election cycle in 2010.
This is what concerns me. How can she juggle being BOTH a MEMBER OF CONGRESS and a FULL TIME POLITICAL PARTY CHAIRPERSON?
Is Wasserman-Schultz going to do the "right thing" and resign her seat from Congress. Trust me, she is going to have to dedicate at least 60 hours per week as Chair of the DNC. She is going to have to manage a new staff of hundreds of "political" organizers, and help oversee the upcoming 2012 Democratic Party Convention, and to help raise $1 Billion to keep the White House in the "blue" column,
How can she do the "work" of the people in Congress and be a full time political party chairperson?
She will succeed Tim Kaine as Chairman of the DNC. He is doing what most "ex-DNC" chairmen do. They run for another office. Yep. Kaine announced earlier Tuesday that he will run for U.S. Senate from Virginia in 2012.
Amazing.
