DNC Confirms That Obama's Man Paul Tewes Is Coming Aboard
By Greg Sargent - June 5, 2008, 11:27AM

Democratic National Committee spokesperson Stacie Paxton confirms to us that Obama strategist Paul Tewes will be joining the DNC, a sign that Obama is rapidly moving to re-shape the party apparatus in his own image.

Tewes -- who is in the DNC building right now and whose hiring was expected -- is being brought in to help manage the transition as the DNC swings into action on behalf of Obama's general election candidacy, and to help oversee fundraising and other political matters.

Separately, the DNC let it be known this morning that it will no longer be taking donations from federal lobbyists or PACs -- another sign that Obama is rapidly putting his stamp on what will be effectively be his party until November and perhaps beyond.

1. Dean is doing what McAuliffe wouldn't - be there for Dem nominee. McAuliffe was a Clinton loyalist

and Hillary2008 was his goal and he undermined Kerry at every turn.

We haven't HAD a Chairman at the DNC working for the entire Dem party since 1993.

Thank you Chairman Dean and all those Democrats who helped you succeed in your task.

3. Dean's game plan has worked so far; I'm impressed! nt

4. Hey - there's a reason that good Dems stand with Dean at DNC - the need to break the stranglehold

the Clintons had on the DNC was never more apparent than watching how McAuliffe sat on his hands while party infrastructure state by state collapsed allowing the RNC all the room they needed to pick the states they knew they could steal with no interference from the Dems who were supposed to be countering their tactics, not letting them get away with setting them up for the 4 years after 2000s theft.
