Democrats to Pick New Leader

The Democrats have their hands full this coming winter. Not only do they have to select a new minority leader, but also a new Chairman for the DNC (Democratic National Committee).

The State Party Officials are set to interview candidates for the upcoming position in Orlando this coming weekend. They will be looking for someone who is energetic, organized, and charismatic and can give concise sound bites. Those who are from states leaning republican will also get a more thorough look, while those looking to become president will not be asked to be considered.

When asked about what the Democrats are looking for Mark Brewer, president of the Association of Democratic State Chairs, stated "We are looking for somebody who's got a four-year plan and vision to work with state parties in every state, to elect folks up and down the ticket."

The Democratic Governors however see this opportunity to bring more than just one chair person to the DNC but rather two co-chairs, one to run the DNC and the other to be a high-profile spokesperson.

"We want somebody who can speak to the heart… speak the language of values," says Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

Those who have agreed to meet Saturday in Orlando include; Howard Dean, Wellington Webb, Leo Hindery, Donnie Fowler, Martin Frost and Simon Rosenberg.
