wow

What does the D.S.C.C. do? Does it actively search for strong candidates in the states? Does it help fund their campaigns?

Hard to say whether this is a big story or not without knowing that, which I don't.

It helps evaluate candidates and does provide some party funding and support.

It requires a high degree of managerial and political skill.

Yes it is a really big deal, sort of like losing a Theo Epstien or Brian Cashman and if you have to ask about who they are, sorry about that.

chuck schumer is a complete idiot. but im suuure the liberal extremists who have hijacked the democratic party will elect someone brilliant to fill those large shoes...

lets try this whole free speech thing one more time, shall we abc?? CHUCK SCHUMER IS AN IDIOT.

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:

Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush's Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.

At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.

You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don't have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.

He supposedly works for you. But he doesn't think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn't that just make you BURRING MAD!

Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family's, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.

Don't let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He's not one of you. He is on George Bush's side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.

Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.

As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss "Let Them Eat Cake" vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don't have to be Saxby Chambliss's victims anymore.

I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.

God bless all of you

geek: "It helps evaluate candidates and does provide some party funding and support."

I don't mean to drag out the point, but what does that mean?

I have no idea how exactly one would "elevate" a candidate.

The funding thing I can better understand. So Schumer's job was to advise Dean about which races the DNC should financially support? That I can see, but I also think its something anyone could do - it isn't hard to look at polls, especially when the media is so quick to publish them, and see which races are competitive.

There could well be and probably is more to this position, but I'm still trying to get it.

I say this when my former congressman - Tom Davis, R-VA 11, was the GOP House equivalent of this position for a while. I know someone who once worked in his office - asked him the same question. He gave me the same kind of vague answers. When I pressed him, he smiled and admitted he had no idea, either. By the way, he's a good guy for a Republican, and is the supervisor for my district on the county board now.

A brilliantly successful tenure comes to an end. No matter your politics, Schumer did his job heading the campaign committee.

Schumer is leaving the post as a hero. I'm concerned that the Democratic Party has failed to adequately recognize him and give him kudos. Reid should step aside and turn the mantle over to Schumer. Go Schumer Go!

Schumer is a media-hungry, lying putz.

Having a filibuster proof Senate would be disastrous for this country. We need the two party system.

Obama has gone from $150 billion stimulus package Sat.to $700 on Tues.

Hold on folks,it's gonna be a bumpy ride!!!
