If any Dem Should Step Down from a Leadership Role
It should be Chris Van Hollen, chair of the DCCC. He's a great Congressman, but losing 60+ seats is an EPIC FAIL.

Oh, and kick Tim Kaine to the curb, too. Bring in Ed Rendell for DNC Chair!

1. With you on the first two.
We need a firebrand as DNC chair, though. A Feingold or a Grayson.

3. Can they raise a metric....
...fuckton of money? Because if they can't, they're useless in the role.

This is a post-Citizens United world, and the DNC have to raise money in amounts large enough to survive in the new environment. The next election will take $1.2 billion-with-a-b dollars to fight.

4. Rendell already had that gig
He was only slightly more effective than Kaine or McUseless.

But yes, the DNC, DCCC, and DSCC all must be purged of DLC Republican infiltration.

Let's have Democrats in charge of every aspect of teh Democratic party.

No need to purge the DLC'ers and Blue Dogs. Just remind them that THEY are the minority in this "big tent" and they need to sit down and shut up while the adults repair the damage they have done to this party.
