Who should be the next DNC Chair? [View all]

I'm partial to Howard Dean, because not only his 50-state strategy but also his commitment to candidate neutrality. (He passed on voting in primaries to stay totally unbiased in his actions as well as his words.)

Other possibilities:

-- Former MD Gov Martin O'Malley
-- Sanders Spokesperson and Former OH State Sen. Nina Turner
-- Former MI Gov Jennifer Granholm
-- Obama campaign/White House staffers Valerie Jarrett, David Ploufe, David Axelrod

Who else should be on the list?
