Maybe Harry Reid should be DNC Chair since he won the election
even having 15 percent unemployement and being very unpopular and polls showing hewas going to lose until the day of the election.

yeah, he ran against a nut but so did many others who lost.

Reid didn't fall for the man up bs. everyone on DU attacked him for being weak when that happened and people were impressed by loser Sharron ANgle but Reid knew what he was doing.

Reid was effective in showing why people should still vote for him despite things being as bad as they are. that's the key to winning in times like this.

1. I hate to tell you
But being DNC chair is no big whoop of a job. Why would Reid want it? Besides, it's primarily about fundraising and in part electioneering (though the DSCC and DCCC have largely led in those roles in recent years, as have their Republican counterparts). And Reid may be no good at the executive director tasks it requires.

Why does everyone here place such emphasis on the DNC? The RNC is barely even operational, and the Rs won big time. Which shows you just how necessary or important these organizations are.

2. But he's not a good talker
and then there's his gaffs. I don't know who should be the spokesperson of the DNC, but not Reid.
