UNDATED Defeated Texas Congressman Martin Frost is being mentioned as a possible chairman for the Democratic National Committee.
More than 100 state party leaders plan to meet December ninth through the eleventh in Orlando, Florida, for the association's annual meeting.
Democrats will vote at their February meeting in Washington on a replacement for Terry McAuliffe, who's not seeking another term.
Frost lost in his November second re-election bid to Republican Congressman Pete Sessions.
Redistricting landed the longtime U-S House members in the same Dallas-area district.
The Associated Press reports other names being mentioned for the D-N-C job are:
-- former Vermont Governor Howard Dean
-- New York businessman Leo Hindery Junior
-- and Donnie Fowler, who directed John Kerry's successful Michigan campaign this year.
His father, Don Fowler, is a former D-N-C chairman.

- In the wake of the Democrats' stunning presidential election defeat, Donna Brazile has been suggested as a possible candidate to replace outgoing Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe.
But in an interview with the Amsterdam News, Brazile, a political strategist who ran Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000, said that she doesn't want the job.
"I'm honored to be on anyone's list," said Brazile, 45. "I want to rebuild the Democratic Party, but I have no interest in the job at this time."

A pretty sad list...Frost..well, he lost his caucus's vote for minority leader, then he lost his seat, so let's pick him as the national face, and voice of the Dem party for the next two years..that's brilliant...(NOT)MP<' It's a sad grab bag of chocies they have.. The ONE person, IMHO, who could make it work..I haven't seen his name mentioned..Harold Ford..
