Our Next DNC Chair

Whether you think T-Mac did a respectable job or totally blew it, I think we all recognize that he's gone and someone else is coming in.  Kos, Atrios and a bunch of bloggers are throwing Dean around and the idea is certainly intriguing.  But what I think we need to find out first, and perhaps its just my ignorance, is who actually gets to decide who our next DNC chair is.  And once we know the answer to that, lets ask ourselves how the blogosphere can actually affect that decision.   Finally, I'd like to know who is actually being considered for the job.  The last thing we want is for all this to be happening behind closed doors.  That's how the dem party used to do things and now things are different.  I want it all in the open because that's democracy and that's how our party does things from now on.  

The next DNC chair could be a place holder, compromise candidate from the various wounded factions of the Dem party, or he/she could be someone who will lead the transformation of the party into the majority party we know it can and should be.   Lets make our voices heard.
