Current DNC chair Tim Kaine has been nothing but a complete disaster. Under his watch, Democrats have lost two governorships, a net of 16 state legislative seats(including special elections), and could well lose Ted Kennedy's old Senate race. Howard Dean would have never let this happen, while Tim Kaine has been completely invisible on every front. Tim Kaine must go if Martha Coakley loses next week.
Howard Dean set up volunteers in every state for special elections and general elections from 2005 to 2008 and the results showed. Democrats did extremely well in special elections everywhere and picked up a net of 55 House seats as well as 15 Senate seats. Howard Dean knew how to win elections. Tim Kaine doesnt have a clue.
The job of the DNC chairman is to elect Democrats and Tim Kaine doesnt seem to get this. Kaine has done absolutely nothing to help Democrats. He doesnt go on TV to defend Democrats, he hasnt set up volunteers in every state, hes done nothing.
If Martha Coakley loses, it should be the final straw. Tim Kaine will have to go as DNC chairman and replaced with someone who knows a little something about party building and campaigns.
