The next chair of the Democratic National Committee

Is there any Democrat that you know of that can be a far better and effective chair for the Democratic National Committee after 2016, regardless of if the Democrats hold the presidency, regain the Senate?

He lost to Brownback in which should have been a easy win, but he stayed competitive in a red state, Davis can show Democrats how to win in rural states like Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. again in 2018.

The vote in KS, as we are finding out because of Clarkson's law suit, is basically UNVERIFIABLE, which means that there's really no way to know whether Davis won or lost. He might have won. He also might have lost. It can't be proven one way or the other without a means of verifying the vote. This is true all over the country. We have a faith-based cyber democracy and nothing more.

VERIFY THE VOTE!!!

But he sure has shown how to setup, run, and herd cats.

And he loves open debates among Democrats.

Attempting to overcome that sort of input is a guarantee of a single term.
