Who should it be? Keith Ellison? Tom Perez? Ilyse Hogue? Cecile Richards? Ray Buckley?

Figuratively speaking, my money is on Tom Perez as he's the safest bet. Cecile Richards would be ideal were it not for her ties to Planned Parenthood which I support financially. The organization is anathema to the GOP in general and the social conservative bloc in particular. A cloud still hangs over Buckley due to some pernicious rumors devised by an unscrupulous adversary to stoke fears in parents. I personally like Ilyse Hogue but don't see it for her either. Finally, Keith Ellision...toast.
In short, whoever has the potential to raise the most money while neither offending the traditional Dem financial backers nor becoming a lighting rod for criticism.

I agree. She showed up on my radar a couple of months ago. It's my understanding that she's a behind the scenes operator. Do you think she'd be a good cure for the Dems at the national level after the DWS/Donna Brazile shenanigans? There seems to be a bloc that wants much more transparency in the dealings of party leadership. I wonder how the next DNC Chair is going to balance the demands of both the Bernie contingent and the traditional party-centric base which tends to prefer incremental change in some areas.

The next DNC Chair will have a big job in rebuilding the democratic party. Of course we need someone who will listen to all the voices in the party, but we also need a strong contrast from Trump. We also need someone who knows how to win elections. The reason Nevada was so successful for dems is because they worked together with unions to get out the vote. Rebecca Lambe knows how to do this.

How about Michael Bloomberg? Yes I know he was the Republican Mayor but he was a Democrat all his life. He know how to win election, he does not scare the non leftist and Social wings of party and would win back the Obama and Clinton (bill) voters that have bolted the party

That's just not where the party is going. The way to win back the white working class is by making it clear that democrats stand with workers. Donald Trump will help us prove that point especially when he starts going after their pensions, unions, health care, and social security. Not to mention the fact that his party is already saying no to targeted tariffs or any consequences for companies that ship jobs oversees. It will become very clear to them that the GOP doesn't stand with workers, and will have buyers remorse. The dems also need to stand strong when it comes to social issues, and climate change.

Not a member of Congress. Head of the DNC should be a full-time position.

I also agree. It should also be a women to stand up for women's rights which will be under assault during the Trump years.
