things, but they are not a lobbying group

Here is there position on Keith:

People do disagree with their position on things, and that includes ADL members.

Here is my take, I don't care who is the DNC chair, as long as they can reach out with a 50 state strategy. I am ok with Ellision, Perez, etc, as long as they can do the job and unite the party

The DNC members will elect the chair. Ellison has the support of Schumer, so he is probably the favorite. This is part of the campaign for those going for the DNC chair, and he should be able to handle the criticism from the ADL or from anyone who is for someone else. Incidentally, he is handling it fine, and it is actually a good thing he is dealing with it now. This is not unlike what President Obama did with the reverend Wright controversy
