Is there any conceivable explanation for DWS heading the DNC [View all] MannyGoldstein Aug 2015 OP

Nnnnnnnnnope. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #1

I admit I am not a fan ofhers but I just can't get myself so worked up over the debate thing. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #2

Not to be snarky, but since it benefits Hillary... TDale313 Aug 2015 #7

That was not snarky and I think Snders is a great debater. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #10

I think these will actually be really good debates. TDale313 Aug 2015 #13

I think they could have added a debate for September. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #15

So, what you're saying is, Hillary Clinton can get her message out in six debates and Sanders can't? BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #54

More debates tend to favor the underdog TDale313 Aug 2015 #60

That could be true if the "underdog" isn't getting extensive coverage (O'Malley, for example), BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #78

The question is, why did President Obama appoint her? BuelahWitch Aug 2015 #17

Good question - wish we knew. 840high Aug 2015 #21

I think he did a lot to appease Hillary over the years. hedda_foil Aug 2015 #23

No the President did not appoint her... Historic NY Aug 2015 #28

Yup, people ignore party elections and then get pissed off by the results. The reason the DNC is a Chathamization Aug 2015 #41

Thats inaccurate reporting. You should be careful with politico articles. phleshdef Aug 2015 #122

Should I be careful with this one too??? L0oniX Aug 2015 #130

I already debunked the notion that a President selects the DNC chair. phleshdef Aug 2015 #131

You didn't debunk shit. From DWS's site: BeanMusical Aug 2015 #154

No, Strickland and DWS were candidates for the chair position. phleshdef Aug 2015 #155

She was selected by Obama. L0oniX Aug 2015 #134

No one appears out of nowhere... but you act like she was an unknown person until Obama existed. phleshdef Aug 2015 #140

It's not complicated. Obama selected her and they voted for her. L0oniX Aug 2015 #144

No, they voted for her and then Obama accepted it. phleshdef Aug 2015 #149

How about The Washington Post? BeanMusical Aug 2015 #129

The DNC chair is elected by party delegates. Period. phleshdef Aug 2015 #132
