2008 Presidential Election
Five Denver City Council members are helping Wellington Webb raise dough for his run to lead the Democratic National Committee, according to the Denver Post [January 28, 2005, "Council members to host Webb fundraiser"]. From the article, "Elbra Wedgeworth, Carol Boigon, Rosemary Rodriguez, Judy Montero and Michael Hancock will host a $100- a-person reception for Webb on Tuesday at The Palm in Denver. Webb has received some funding from Rutt Bridges, founder of Denver's Bighorn Center for Public Policy and a possible Democratic candidate for governor in 2006. Webb's campaign refuses to identify other donors and won't say how much money it has raised in Webb's campaign to replace Terry McAuliffe as national party chair when DNC members vote on Feb. 12."
Taegan Goddard: "'It's supposed to be a rigged deal.' -- Democratic strategist James Carville, quoted by the Wall Street Journal, complaining that the race for DNC chairman could be a 'spectacle of chaos.'"
Here's a long post from Josh Marshall about the the race for DNC Chair.
