No thank you. She is more effective where she at. MichiganVote Jul 2016 #3

No. It's an administrative job--organizing and fundraising. MADem Jul 2016 #4

No thanks. sheshe2 Jul 2016 #5

Becoming DNC chair does not mean she leaves the Senate. It doesn't even have to last beyond StevieM Jul 2016 #7

There won't be a new party chair until well after the election, if then. eom MohRokTah Jul 2016 #6

I think that would be a total waste of her talent. Not to mention a total time drain. Native Jul 2016 #8

I'm pretty sure she doesn't want it. JI7 Jul 2016 #9

Outreach and influence. Getting down in the weeds.

The party leader is not the DNC chair when the POTUS is a Dem; they're just a strong right arm. The party leader IS the POTUS when we own the White House.

EW doesn't like that kind of stuff. She doesn't care for money in politics, though she'll raise it and take it because she knows how the game is played.

She's more of a policy type. She's an issues-based actor.
