Who should be the Party Chair (Any Clintonians out there?)

Party Chairs Up for Grabs
So the GOP will have a new head, but how hard is that? Jump on top and just ride baby, ride. Now the Democrats have a more serious situation. The top candidates so far are Donna Brazile and Howard Dean, according to the latest news reports. Good choices?

For a party that is sorely in need of a win it's hard to get excited about the leader of an interesting, but far from successful run at the nomination and the director of a gimpy campaign that managed to lose the White House in 2000 (all vote counting craziness aside) despite being part of eight years of unmitigated prosperity.

Are there no Clinton people available? Didn't Kerry's campaign really right the ship after they added Sasso and Lockhart and others? Carville would be a horrible front-man (all apologies to the Ragin' Cajun' but I can't even understand him and I know tons of Louisianians), but can we get him as a lead strategist?

1. The current party chair was hand-picked by Clinton...

... and we all see how swimmingly he performed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, ... won't get fooled again.

3. I dont neccesarily mean picked by Clinton...

I mean someone who was successful in his campaigns and appeal

4. Joe Trippi?

Is Joe Trippi (or some other media-savvy outsider) an option? That would be my vote.

9. Hell No!!

Dean if anyone. Trippi showed how to raise money and then blow it in a hurry, that's it.

5. Howard Dean, Al Sharpton, Carol-Mosely Braun, Julian Bond..

Enough with the DLC panderers.

7. We need winning strats not just different one

I just dont see what Howard Dean brings to the table as far as a comprehensive new approach

6. Why not the Big Dawg, himself?

8. The Big Dawg pushed NAFTA, enough said :P
