As for my possible run for DNC chair, I will be making my decision over the holidays. Given the words of encouragement I've received from all of you, and from the many DNC members I've spoken to in recent weeks, it is safe to say that I am leaning towards getting in. After all, this is a party worth fighting for.
So, stay tuned, thanks again, and I hope you have a restful and fulfilling holiday with family and friends.
That
quote comes from Simon Rosenberg -- who understands never-ending campaigning enough to be blogging on Christmas Eve.
And he's branching out from his own blog, "thinking outside the website" as Mr. Tagaris would say. Last night, 45 minutes before midnight, he wrote on Kos:
Yes it's me, Simon, and yes I will post more on Kos. I visit at least ten times a day anyway so I might as well post more.
Interesting stuff. For a long time Rosenberg has had a reputation as being responsive to the netroots. Now he's being even more interactive?
Here's some more of what he had to say in his Christmas Eve post:
Inspired by the challenges ahead, we've been busier then ever here since the election. We've begun the process of updating our agenda,
A Commitment to Hope and Progress; we released our comprehensive take on the elections called
Where We Are; we've upgraded our
website and our community-building tools; we issued summary findings from our pathbreaking national
Hispanic Project; I delivered a
speech in Orlando, Florida about the future of the Democratic Party; we released a
statement about the need to open up our Presidential Primary system; I have a
piece in this week's New Republic with some thoughts about the foreign policy challenges facing Democrats; we released a
memo talking about how the Republicans are re-inventing their Party and what it means for the next DNC Chair; and I've taken our recommendations to
CNN,
Fox News and many other outlets including
Business Week,
New York Magazine,
USAToday,
EJ Dionne's column, the
Boston Globe,
BOPNews and
DailyKos.
This is going to be an exciting New Year. If you missed it, Matt Stoller has started the discussion about Rosenberg on National Security.
