Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Chair DNC
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) has been selected as the new chair of the DNC:
"President Obama selected Ms. Wasserman Schultz as his choice to succeed Tim Kaine, who announced earlier Tuesday that he intended to run for Senate in Virginia. The decision was being discussed in a conference call with members of the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday evening, officials said, and was expected to be announced soon. She would be the first woman to serve as the permanent head of the committee...Ms. Wasserman Schultz, 44, is known for her strong fund-raising abilities, party officials said, and would become one of the few high-profile woman surrogates on television for the president. She first gained national attention during the Florida recount in 2000, when she was a state legislator, and has been a rising figure in the party over the last decade."
Excellent! Debbie is someone I have respected for a long time and is one of the few politicians that I think has integrity! Good luck!

EXCELLENT. LOVE her!
Tim Kaine sucks ass, and not in a good way!
This is very good news for the gay community, on both accounts.

Short hair (a la Hillary) and solid colors. She should look serious but approachable.

@Dizzy Spins: I do my best not to critique people's appearance in these comments, but I have to agree. That looks like someone's high school yearbook photo from the early to mid 1980s.

She represents my district in Fort Lauderdale. This is the best possible news for LGBT rights. She has been a leading sponsor, from the beginning, for DADT repeal, DOMA repeal, ENDA...absolutely everything concerning LGBT rights. On top of that, Wasserman Schultz is a member of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus. Go ahead and look up this information. It would be difficult to make an argument that the DNC is going in the wrong direction concerning gay rights.

Now that is good news! Kaine was about as exciting as dishwater. Ms. Wasserman-Schultz has got some fire!
