Should Bill Clinton take over as Chairman of the Democratic Party?

[zaj]

He can't be head of the entire country, but why not head of the Democratic half?

He's...

... our party's best politician.
... our party's best spokesman.
... our party's best strategist.
... our party's best campaigner.
... our party's best fundraiser.

Seriously, why isn't he the voice and the face of the DNC?

1. He's had his time.

It is time to start anew.

[madfloridian]

2. Not the way he feels about some things.

It is time for someone else.

[Clovis Sangrail]

3. no /nt

[WI_DEM]

4. No

A former president wouldn't work in that post, and Clinton wouldn't want it.

[Kimber Scott]

He's done his job. Let him alone. nt

[Julien Sorel]

5. Lightning rod.

It would have its plusses and minuses, in my opinion, the big one being the Hillary thing.

But I seriously doubt he'd want the job. It's a big headache, with lots of behind the scenes ass kissing to do and the like, and Clinton was president far too long to do that sort of thing now.

6. Dean

is the man we need there. He's got the balls to make some changes.

[NEOBuckeye]

13. I agree. It must be Dean.

He's got a plan and vision. Let's give him the next shot.

[soothsayer]

7. It's kind of a menial job for a guy like him, ain't it?

He's bigger than that dinky post.

8. it wouldn't be good for his heart

Howard Dean for Party Chair!

9. this position is not nearly as important as many of you think

The party chairman position is not like playing quarterback or being the head coach. It's much more like being head cheerleader.

[madfloridian]

12. Dean said it was a thankless job.

And sort of shook his head.

16. Interesting...

I would expect this person is central to defining the strategy and the vision of the party... in building the vision and actions required for the upcoming elections.

[President Jesus]

18. the title makes it sound cool...but in reality it's just not

[Fovea]

10. No

He is not the future of the Dem party.
As right as he was for the time, the third way is dead.
We need someone who knows when to pursuade, when to compromise, and when to leave a body bleeding in the alley.

We don't need a man who likes to be liked. We need the reincarnation of Lyndon Johnson, or Harry Truman.

[shrdlu]

11. No. Joe Lockhart would be good...

...but he probably wouldn't be interested. Not now anyway.

[President Jesus]

19. yes...someone like that would be good (nt)

[socalover]

14. Hell YES!

[foo_bar]

15. no way, he's the next mayor of NYC

:O

[President Jesus]

20. that would be awesome

[gardenista]

21. If Clinton were mayor of NYC, I would move there! nt

[freetobegay]

17. Fuck no!

And Fuck Bll Clinton! That fucking idiot!!!
