Nothing personal, but what does Shyam know about winning elections? We need someone who knows about how to win an election, and who has experience doing so, in that position.
And is Shyam willing to take on a full time job with no pay?
I can't imagine why Shyam would want to work for free and do not know that he even wants this job. I keep bringing him up because I think he has characteristics that are attractive in a chair. I'd like to see someone with those characteristics elected. We don't need any more of the "same old, same old." I'm looking for youth, energy, a vision for developing the grassroots, county organizations, raising money and identifying and training candidates. And, someone who will attract YD's and others who are dems but not "Party Dems." Let's hear some other names. I'd love a discussion about what characteristics in a chair would move us forward.
Amy, you have done so much volunteer work for the Democratic party and you know so many of the candidates. I quite agree with you that Shyam would make an excellent chair for the Democratic party. To another subject: a lot of folks seem to visit your site with a variety of comments, often negative. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I would like to know if these folks are doing some sunstantive volunteer work for the Democratic candidates of their choice. It's gonna take everybody's shoulder to the wheel.
Re: Shyam
Plenty of folks have lost their first, second, third race and gone on to have long careers in politics. It's especially hard when your first go at politics is running as a relative unknown in a statewide race. And even more so when your name is Shyam and you're in Georgia.
I'm sure he's learned tremendously from this campaign season and will do great things in the future.
I think that people can disagree and still work toward common goals. Just being negative is not very productive, but one function of the "new public square" is to put ideas to the test. So, I don't mind the pushback. Thanks, though, Tina. Because I know who you are, I know that you have contributed countless hours to the Party and to candidates. You should get an AWARD! I am sure that others who post here have contributed im many ways as well. Among dems, we fight, but I think generally, we have more in common than not.
