Jan Schakowsky for DNC Chair! She is amazing.

[jillan]

Listening to her on Stephanie Miller. She is a woman with a spine of steel that always speaks forcefully and intelligently about progressive ideals.

First thing she said is that she already called the DGA and asked them wth happened?
How did we let so many republican governors lose?

She just said we need to use this Republican takeover to our advantage.

If they want to impeach the President over immigration, have fun. They will never win another Presidential election.
They want to repeal Obamacare? Let them try to take away healthcare from 8 million people.

Everything she said is right now is the perfect time to showcase the differences between the 2 parties (yes there are differences on social issues).

She tactfully went after Allison Grimes for running away from the President and gave a great example of what Allison should have said.

I could go on and on. But here we have a woman that is articulate, confident and a true liberal.

Thoughts?

1. That's my congressperson.

She's awesome, and she can afford to be outspoken because she represents a mostly liberal district. I don't know if she'd be interested in the position, but the Democratic party has a lot of talented people. It would be good to see a new chair with some gusto.

3. Stephanie Miller said to her that she would love to see Jan in a leadership position for the Dems &

Jan didn't say no.

You are so lucky to have her represent you.
She represents my brother & his wife too.... and I am jealous!
Altho, I have a great congresswoman in Kyrsten Sinema... altho she is a bit more to the center, but this is Az so she has to be

2. She's got my vote, if I had one. She is a very intelligent and articulate person. nt

4. Yes, yes, yes! She would be great. k&r

5. She would be great!

6. I adore her. She was a WI state party convention a few years ago.

She introduced Gwen Moore who I also love.

8. K&R! Jan Schakowsky is the best, my favorite.

9. I love Jan too. We need a lot more like her in Congress. A lot more. nt

11. Sounds good.

12. I don't believe someone can wear two hats at the same time and the DNC job is not worth

leaving Congress for.

The only reason we have a Congress member doing the job now is nobody want it, IMO.

Trying to keep 50 state chair people who think they are the best and the brightest and the Dist of DC and the territories happy is a tough job.

It's not even a federal job and nobody knows who the boss is, since you are hired by the Dem Party convention subcommittee max 4 yr contract and no sighing bonus.

15. Wait - DWS is in Congress AND was DNC chair at the same time.

It's not unusual.

16. The only reason we have a Congress member doing the job now is nobody want it, IMO.

It is unusual.

13. Good call!

[GoCubsGo]

14. I was thinking the same thing when I heard her talk.

I hope they give her a big role in the 2016 campaign.

17. Personally, I think we need someone of color

In that position. It's been run by white people much too long.

[LittleBlue]

18. I'll take anyone with a backbone at this point

She sounds impressive by what you say. Just give someone who is brave and doesn't run from the GOP hooligans.
