The Washington Post reports that Barack has chosen Tim Kaine, Governor of Virginia, to succeed Gov. Howard Dean as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The official announcement is expected soon.
But at least one question still remains when it comes to the future of the DNC: When will they reinstate the 50 State Strategy?
The 50 State Strategy will go down as one of the most successful long-term programs the Democratic National Committee has ever implemented. Not just for Barack but for candidates up and down the ballot all across the country. But while there has been a lot of talk about keeping it alive, all of the original DNC 50 State Strategy organizers have been let go.
With special elections, local mayor and city council races all coming up soon, this is one decision that can't wait any longer. Call on Tim Kaine to immediately renew the 50 State Strategy and we'll make sure he gets the message.

The 50 State Strategy delivers proven results.
For example, only three years ago, Gov. Dean was mocked by party insiders and Washington Democrats for spending DNC resources in Alaska. This week, Alaskans watched Mark Begich swear in as their newly elected Democratic Senator.
We have a lot of work ahead to get America back on track. Our new Congress is sworn in and we're only a few days from Barack's historic inauguration. We risk everything we've gained if we return to a shallow strategy of only fighting for votes in a few swing states. We need to continue to think long-term and make sure our national party can compete for votes nationwide.
Let's make sure Gov. Kaine continues to build a people-powered party in all 50 states. Let's get it started right now.
SEND GOV. KAINE A MESSAGE: RENEW THE 50 STATE STRATEGY NOW
Thank you for everything you do,
-Jim
Jim Dean, Chair
