Topic of the Week: Robert Gibbs as DNC chair?

It’s being speculated White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs could be the next chairman of the DNC:

Democratic insiders are taking the temperature of some top party donors about the possibility of naming White House press secretary Robert Gibbs as chairman of the Democratic National Committee heading into President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012, senior officials tell POLITICO.

Under the scenario being tested, Tim Kaine, the current DNC chairman and former governor of Virginia, would be named to a top administration post, perhaps in the Cabinet, the officials said.

Would Gibbs be a good choice for Democrats heading into 2012?

  1. “Democratic insiders are taking the temperature of some top party donors”

    That seems like a pretty profound statement right there. I can only hope they’re using a Rectal thermometer.

    Anyone hoping to misconstrue my meaning had better not. The influence of “top party donors” in the Republican party has got to be exponentially worse. Since they’re openly and gleefully All About Money in Thought Word and Deed.
    Money Talks, Bullshit Walks. Right?
    I’ll just sit back and see who the Money People decided would be best.
    Seein’ as how it’s called the DEMOCRATIC party they maybe could take some kind of vote (you know… democracy?) without playing footsie with the wealthy first, but I guess that would be silly.

    1. It’s all about the money. The next DNC chair will be the individual that makes President Obama and the wealthy benefactors of the DNC happy, regardless of what us proles think.

  2. I cannot stand to listen to Howard Dean or Robert Gibbs speak. Can either of them speak a complete sentence without starting over?

  3. I hope not. If he continues to get our message out as effectively as he has we are in trouble.
    Not to mention the OFA concept to replace the 50 state strategy has been the biggest blunder and waste of money in grassroots organizing/party management in recent history
