Tim Kaine is a disaster for the DNC time to replace him with Dean
anyone seen Tim Kaine? he's AWOL. Dems need a shot in the arm right now and Dean would do it.

1. again, the DNC chair is a figure head when a Dem lives in the White House
very little power or influence.

8. I have a problem with the way Dean allowed the campaign to drag on when
President Obama was the clear winner. So I say NO TO DEAN RETURNING IN THE DNC ROLE...

16. What was he supposed to do?
Call the race after New Hampshire like the weak chairman McAuliffe did for the weak candidate Kerry? Dean was still fucking leading in delegates when they pulled that shit on him.

Clearly, there was a point when Hillary was mathematically eliminated from winning, and she should have conceded then. But it wasn't Dean's place to call the race, and having been unjustly on the receiving end of it himself in the previous election, nobody can blame him for not wanting to do that.

18. No, this is bad reasoning.
You cannot--CANNOT--kill the competition until there is one man left standing.

Dean was smart enough to know that the game wasn't over until Hillary officially left the race, and I would have been disappointed at him for trying to force her out, even though I was a huge Obama fan in the primaries.

9. I've made like 3 threads just like this. I don't get it. Kaine is really detached. NT

10. I blame Kaine for not shooting off ads that counter all the lies the pigs are throwing at this admin
While it was great having Biden put his foot down on the Sunday shows, the DNC has got to step it up to control the message.

Howard was always on top of things....I just don't see it now AND now is when we need it more than ever because of the upcoming midterms.

11. Kaine is not doing anything that he does not have permission from the WH to do.
The better question would be, is the WH needing to be more on top of things and the answer is yes. Now, there has been some response to that just recently with the communications team in the WH needing to be more effective.

12. Dean isn't wanted nor does he need to step into this mess
He's been the good soldier long enough. Time for the rest of the party to step up and deliver.

14. DNC chair needs to be "bad cop" to Obama's "good cop"
And no more DLC toadies like Kaine.

He and his evil eyebrow need to be sent packing.

15. Kaine is even weaker than Terry McUseless
I didn't think that was even possible.

Bring back the good Dr. Because this party needs a transfusion, STAT!

17. Has anyone been to
the DNC website?

They have a cool blog.

The DNC raised $84 million in 2009. Pretty good considering how many Democrats have sworn them off.
