I kind of wish David Carr were alive to smack this guy in the head. Ever been to MN? It's a lot like Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. (1/8)https://twitter.com/jonathanweisman/status/797120114042793984 …
That's not what I said. I said Ellison may make people volunteer for Dems again. @bungdan @ArmsControlWonk

I know little about Ellison's qualities. If an effective, pragmatic organizer, will do well.
-
Beyond Wellstone stuff, I see him really engaging at grassroots events where others have given up
@magicbravosolo@ArmsControlWonk -
he is a Democrat whose only tough elections were primaries vs other dems
-
Dean was worse! But also most effective DNC chair in recent history.
@bungdan@ArmsControlWonk -
good point. So why not go with Dean?
-
Bc 1) he has big ethical problems now 2) his assessment of election so far faulty.

that's what a CANDIDATE does. Not the DNC chair.
-
Not in my experience. People volunteer if they believe volunteering will be rewarding, effective.
@bungdan@ArmsControlWonk -
Howard Dean, before he sold out, brought the same thing as chair: promise of a kind of organizing.

Ellison comes out of the Wellstone world of organizing. That's what he'd bring to DNC.
