Wilder: Time for a Shakeup
In a recent Politico op-ed, former Virginia Governor L. Douglas Wilder suggested that President Obama needs a staff shakeup to help the President accomplish his goals. He also criticized former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine’s job as DNC Chair.
“I am an admirer of Tim Kaine, whom I backed in his current position and as one of my successors as Virginia governor and even recommended for the vice presidency. But a spate of recent losses in races that Democrats should have won underscores what has been obvious to me for a long time: The chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee is the wrong job for him.”
OUCH! I thought it was too soon for this call. I mean after the gubernatorial losses in New Jersey and Virginia, and Martha Coakley losing the Senate race in Massachusetts, one could have assumed the calls for Kaine’s head would be in the pipeline. Actually, it would be great if Obama keeps Kaine in charge of things at the DNC and focus on ridding himself of others in his Administration.
Tim Kaine Responds to the RPV FOIA Request
Tim Kaine released his response to the FOIA request filed by the Republican Party of Virginia regarding his travel records. You can view the response here.
Basically, the requested answers remain unanswered. Go figure!
It's either one or the other, Timmy!
Governor Tim Kaine, who also serves as the DNC Chair, is having a difficult time balancing between two jobs. Maybe, it is time for him to decide whether he wants to lead the Commonwealth of Virginia or play party partisan.
Kaine told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that he is having problems with balancing his duties.
“I am trying to juggle two pretty challenging jobs,” he said. “It’s not an easy time to be a governor.”
Some people are lucky to be able to balance the commitments of holding two jobs, and there are some who are not capable enough to handle the commitments of holding two jobs, as in Tim Kaine’s case.
