Here's a Wild Idea Regarding the DNC
As I understand it now, the following folks are campaigning for the DNC chair

Howard Dean, former Gov. Jim Blanchard (MI), Ron Kirk (former mayor of Dallas), Donnie Fowler, Simon Rosenberg, Wellington Webb (former mayor of Denver and currently a Vice Chair), Harold Ickes and Rep. Martin Frost (TX)

An objective look at all of these people tells me that each brings an impressive talent to the process and our party would be better served to keep them.

So my question, is there a way to restructure the DNC so that we can "hire" them to do a job for which they are qualified.

As an example, I'm not particularly excited about the idea of having Harold Ickes as the DNC chair, but couldn't he be the Finance Chair?

Could we have someone be the spokesperson for the party, say Howard Dean, but have someone else run the day-to-day operations as a Chief Operating Officier. And before anyone says it, I'm not sayig that Dean doesn't have the organizational bandwith, but why bog him down with that, when he's obviously much better and getting out there and getting people excited and recruiting candidates

And isn't Donnie Fowler a big proponent of grass roots organizing, media following and the use of the internet. Well one of our biggest problems is the vaccumm in which the Right Wing radio and websites operate. Put him in charge developing a comprehensive strategy to combat this using groups such as MoveOn and Take Back the Media.

Just some thoughts, but my overall point is if we all agree it's time for a change then dang it let's change, the leaders, the structure, the organizations, the message...
