leaving Congress for.

The only reason we have a Congress member doing the job now is nobody want it, IMO.

Trying to keep 50 state chair people who think they are the best and the brightest and the Dist of DC and the territories happy is a tough job.

It's not even a federal job and nobody knows who the boss is, since you are hired by the Dem Party convention subcommittee max 4 yr contract and no sighing bonus.
