Schultz, Kaine. So what's the White House's complaint? It SHOULD be full time? I've heard this is an important attribute.

or is Ellison being more of a Wellstone Democrat the real problem?

...I understand she wasn't too popular.

representative in the DNC chair seat. I don't think Keith is too far left but the time factor is big.

He was joined by André Carson of Indiana.

But as far as sticking it to the repukes, he's an excellent choice.

We need a full time Chairperson. As nice as Rep Ellison is, we need a FULL time Chair. As Howard Dean said, it's a 80 hour a week job, not a 30 hour part time job.

If we want to ever get this country back on the right track, we need to have real democrats, not Blue-Dogs, not middle of the roaders. We need Bernie Sanders democrats.

I like Ellison, but I oppose this because he can't commit that kind of time

besides, with republicons controlling the House, they don't spend much time there anyway. 2-3 day workweeks with 3-7 week breaks.

Ellison could easily do the job.

It's a job that requires a lot of time and energy
You cannot tell me the Party is unable to find someone with solid credentials that has that kind of time

It is because he is just too liberal for some.

That may be some one else's
I supported Sanders, I support left politics
I also support finding someone with the time to give
Not someone splitting time

By having a dual party chair. One who is the face and direction and the other, who will work and implement that direction full time. To really rebuild, we need all hands on deck and Rep. Ellison can't do service to his constituents and the needs of our party by himself.

we are all together, Ellison, Sanders, Warren, Obama..and many, many more will STAND TOGETHER.

until he switched sides.
