Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, announced Saturday that the party will conduct a full review of its poor performance in recent midterm elections.
In a video posted to YouTube, Wasserman Schultz said Democrats need to examine why their party suffered significant losses this year, costing them control of the Senate, and in 2010, when they lost control of the House. At the same time, Democrats have fared well in presidential election years, winning the White House and making gains in both chambers in 2008 and 2012.
The electoral success we have when our presidential nominee is able to make the case to the country as a whole, doesnt translate in other elections, she said. We are going to look at where we fell short. Were going to identify our mistakes.
The review is similar to the Republican Partys so-called autopsy report after its losses in 2012. That 98-page report identified problems with the partys image among voters and proposed several ideas to give the GOP a leg-up in future elections.
Wasserman Schultz has come under fire this year for her stewardship of the DNC. POLITICO reported in September that there was friction with the White House and congressional leaders, who said they had lost confidence in her as party chair.
Wasserman Schultz said she will name key party stakeholders and experts to a committee that will lead the review, and their report will be ready for the DNCs winter meeting early next year.
Finding real and lasting solutions to our midterm elections issues is critical to the success of the policies we care about, and the long-term strength of our party, she said.
Maybe they can elevate Wisconsin Democrat chair Mike Tate. He’s done wonders for the Wisconsin GOP.
“key party stakeholders and experts”
The more LGBT bulldykes, commie geeks and ‘green’ weenies, the better.
¡Let your freak flags fly, Jacka**e*!
And this is bad?
She ain’t gonna smuggle with me.
If they don't want Carrottop any more, get the guy who smashes watermelons.
I wonder if they will take an honest look at their platform.
no no no..lets keep lil debbie..he he he
Certainly Mr. Limbaugh would have to find a new butt for jokes.
First thing that Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is to see the end of the unemployment line. Then, just as she’s about to get waited on, 30 illegal aliens are taken ahead of her and she’s told to come back the next day.
I'm sure it's not because you're all fascist control-freak assholes.
“Get Rince on the phone NOW! We gotta get them to start pushing Romney harder! And make damn sure Bhoner and the Turtle pass Amnesty so we have someone to take the heat off os”
Gee Deb, do you think being anti-American, anti-family, anti-God, anti-business, and anti-free markets had anything to do with your stunning defeat?
Debbie puts the “Ugh!” in “ugly.” That being said, she needs to stay in her current post. If the Dims replaced her, it might be with somebody who, unlike Debbie, has a clue.
Lol.
DREADFUL metaphor!
The camera caught her with her mouth wide open as well: a MOST unflattering photo.
Yep. My first thought, too. But . . . let BHO declare his also.
The rest of the country cares about things other than abortion, Debbie.
I love her being the chair of the review.
After all, she ran the House Democrats’ campaign.
Nothing quite breeds introspection on the Left like failure.
