Fingers are crossed - this DNC leak is the last straw for her.

I really can't see the President, Hillary, or any of the party higher ups wanting her to continue after this.

Doesn't matter if the DNC is a success or a complete disaster, she needs to go. But there needs to be a successor immediately. Honestly they should just let Dean man the ship until after the election.

Howard Dean should just become the permanent DNC chair for as long as he wants.

I think the compromise superdelegate plan is perfect.  Republicans should adopt the same thing.

It's frustrating to see that the head of the DNC won't be able to speak, but the fact that it's DWS makes me soooo happy. Hopefully she's gone asap.

I'm fine if we put someone as DNC chair who has loyalties to the Sanders campaign - how about Tad Devine?

Michael Bloomberg will speak and endorse Clinton and the DNC

Looks like Clinton is going hard for the soft Republican vote.

I'm glad. She could have some success if she makes sanity a central tenet of her campaign.
