Whittington To Step Aside? by: ryan Fri Oct 23, 2009 at 15:00:00 PM CDT John Maginnis, in his LaPolitics Weekly Fax, puts some rumors out there: Heading into a Senate election year, some Democratic elected officials hope to heal internal leadership division by getting state chairman Chris Whittington to step aside. Several political sources say Whittington has agreed to resign his office if Democrats can come up with a consensus candidate that gain the support of the governing body, the Democratic State Central Committee. The question is whether the DSCC can come to a consensus on this issue. Stay tuned ... ryan :: Whittington To Step Aside?

Just go, little man. You've damned near killed the party during your tenure. The DSCC has the power to convene itself and oust him. Now that he's said he's ready to go, what is stopping the committee from acting in the party's best interest by putting him out the door? Now is the time to act, DSCC members. Call yourself into session. Fire this man and get on with the business of rebuilding the state party. by: Mike Stagg @ Tue Oct 27, 2009 at 14:55:54 PM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

Once their monopoly on campaigns is over, we can start winning again.  Hopefully, Leach will put an end to these guys. by: noneoftheabove @ Tue Nov 03, 2009 at 22:49:14 PM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.
