DNC

Cautious optimism regarding Tim Kaine

Submitted by Dirty D on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 10:51

I've been meaning to write about this since I heard the leak, but I wanted to wait till it was official. After all, seeing what Barack had to say, what the Committee members had to say, and most importantly, what Tim Kaine had to say, was going to give a lot of context to the replacement.  Blue Leader was right to expect that I'd have a lot to say, but even though I have an explosive temper and no fear of running my mouth, I do have a little bit of patience. Anyway, since the bourbon's out of the bottle, we may as well drink up.  With the appointment of Kaine to the DNC, I am still upset that Dean is without a job, if it's not to  be Dean at the DNC, I am cautiously optimistic that Kaine will do a good job.

There's more.

Appropos of Dirty D's post, there were a few major developments on the DNC/organizing front today.  First of all, WaPo reports that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine will head the DNC; he will work part-time from Richmond until January of 2010, with day-to-day operations being overseen by Edwards and Obama staffer Jennifer O'Malley-Dillon.  Secondly, Marc Ambinder has a post that lays out an expanded role for the DNC in field organizing ("the fifty-state strategy on steroids") as well as some staffing changes for the future iterations of Obama for America.  Both are worth reading in their entireity.
