What about Obama for chair of the DNC?

[LAS14]

I'm just aching for someone to rally behind. I did perk up after Warren's AF of L speech, maybe... But if Obama were around in an official capacity that would be great. And maybe the Democratic Party would start moving at the grass roots level already for 2020.

Whadda ya think?

1. First, what is the law regarding this and a former prez. Second, would he want the job? Maybe,

since his background includes organizing. It would certainly be an interesting move and beneficial to our Party,

2. I can't imagine there's any law against it.

3. Obama said he was going to get into the gerrymandering mess. I would think that

is a full time job. Don't know if will be paid position or not.


What we need now is Democrats who will run in two years. Anyone who can recruit them is tops in my book.

4. Yep. After I posted I thought, No! 2018!

I'd think gerrymandering is a legitimate issue for the Dems.

I'd be real surprised if chair of the DNC isn't a paid position. Will be interested to hear.

8. Do you know anything about how this org relates...

... to the Democratic Party? I don't want to help divide us. But I can see how they could complement it. I'll watch it. Thanks.

9. Well, they're not affiliated with the Democratic Party.

The founders are former Bernie Sanders campaign people.

Take that with as many grains of salt as you wish.

7. Looks like it's not paid, but...

... you'd think he and Michelle could live pretty well for a while on book advances.
