The Chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, the ineffectual
Denny White is going to be leaving.
Ok, now that you have all finished applauding...
Ok, finished now ? Good, because that is where the good news ends.
Now the smoke filled room of central committee is about to anoint the next big failure to lead the Ohio Democratic Party, and I want your help to stop it.
Follow me into the extended
This is a little like the DNC chair race, we don't get a vote - but what we can do is pressure those who do get a vote to :
- Open up the process to a series of candidate forums/debates (perhaps 3, 1 in Cleveland, 1 in Columbus, and 1 in Cincinnati)
- Allow the Ohio Democratic Party grass roots to have a say by being able to attend these forums and ask questions.
If there is support for doing this, this would be the plan:
- Write he ODP and DEMAND they open the process
- Contact each of the Central Committee members and tell them we want debates and an open process
- Write letters to the local papers
There is some institutional support for doing this, and we might have a grass roots candidate to put forward.
So if anyone is interested, say so in the comments, this isnt something i can do on my own - and we can take it from there.
