Kos: Terry out. Get Howard in.

The McAuliffe reign has ended in disaster, with the Democratic Party in worse position electorally than when he came in as Chair in February 2001. We have lost seats in the House and Senate, and failed to cleanly take out the Worst President Ever.
While McAuliffe was an artful fundraiser, the party continued to lack the ability to develop a clear message or properly frame the political debate. And it's been killing us.

Even if Kerry can pull off the victory, it's clear the Democratic Party as currently constituted is on its deathbed. It needs reforms, and it needs them now. Quite frankly, the status quo simply won't cut it.

Howard Dean for DNC Chair.

3. I've thought this for a while
The only logical choice at this time. Sorry Bill & Hillary; I know Terry's your guy.

But he's not getting the job done.

8. Gees, can't get any worse, I think, so what the hell.... Bring on Howard!
Remember, I said I thought it couldn't get worse. I'm probably wrong.

10. Yes, the perfect job for Dean
McAuliffe should never have survived 2002. He must go within weeks.
