people who never have a good word to say about the DNC, who boast about never giving another dime to the DNC, thinking they can direct how the money (they don't donate) should be spent.

This is why Democrats lose when they pick and chose where to pu their money...Its the Chariman's decision ..and oh yes when Debbie Wassermann Schultz,,,failed to support winnable House Seats,just how did that work out for Democrats?...3 election cycles we lost under her leadership so Perez needs to step up

I'll venture to say he'll win by double digits now that his supporters are all riled up. I know that. And the DNC knows that.

As for how DWS spent the organization's money, do you have proof that she "failed to support winnable House Seats"? How the hell do you know that, and is there anything in the way of irrefutable proof to support your claim, or is this just a continuation of DWS bashing?

Why would he say such a stupid thing?

He also denied even knowing her!

It doesn't. We know that. Women in AL voted overwhelmingly for the Groper-In-Chief, even after they heard him admit to being a serial sexual predator. This news might be good for places like DU, CNN & MSNBC, but his supporters don't get their news from such places.

I'm still waiting for the o.p. to defend his/her claim about DWS failing to support winnable races during her tenure at the DNC. All I get is crickets.

Debbie was for Debbie..she actually supported a Republican in Florida over a Democrat.
Her goal was to have that Cabinet position in the Clinton White House..
There is no need to mention the corrupt way Debbie ran several of the State primaries including the Iowa Caucus....Is there?
Its not DWS bashing it proof the DWS was an incompetent Chairperson for the DNC

having difficulty processing the Democratic "wins" last Tuesday, but get over it. And by the way, States run primaries, the DNC only runs the caucuses, which you guys won. You can't blame DWS or the DNC if "primary voters" weren't buying what you were selling. What more did you want?

crazycatlady,

It’s clear. Roy Moore is unfit to serve.

But the Alabama special election is just one month away -- and without an outpouring of grassroots support, this man could become the next U.S. Senator from Alabama.

This is a fight worth fighting, Caroline. Please, rush a contribution of $4 right now to help fund our field efforts as we fight for EVERY state >>

Or donate another amount.

Alabama may be a tough state for Democrats, but Rachel Maddow has gone on the record to say that Doug Jones is running a competitive campaign. And Doug is no stranger to tough fights. As a prosecutor, he took on the decades old case of the Birmingham Church Bombing and brought members of the KKK to justice.

The contrast between Doug Jones and Roy Moore couldn’t be clearer, Caroline. Please, contribute $4 right now to stand on the right side of history and help us fight for every Senate seat:

They're the arm of the DNC specifically devoted to winning senate races.

They have field staff on the ground.

ETA other outside organizations have field staff on the ground or are in the process of hiring them. I receive left leaning political job postings and have seen a lot of AL lately.

most of the people in the state voted for Sessions repeatedly and for Trump who has admitted to sexual assault and bragged about it.

They have field staff on the ground there.

In addition, I also received emails from the PCCC and DFA (both use predictive dialers) about Alabama.
