He's ineffective. He should go.
That's all, no need to rant about him or his ethnicity. He's just a poor chair and we need someone who can focus the party.
I gotta say that I am not against the contentious convention idea these days. I think the Primary system has failed us miserably and should be eliminated. Maybe we SHOULD go back to the days when a convention actually picked our candidate. At least in that way we have a better chance as a party to affect who is our nominee! The way it is now only money gets us a nominee as the only one who can win is the guy that has the cash to go the distance and appear all over the place to meet the primary voters.
I would love to see a brokered convention!
I don’t even tune into those events anymore, since they are simply rubber-stamp stump sessions for the previously annointed money managers. A brokered convention might actually cause people to pause and consider some issues seriously - it would be like a week-long Survivor for politicians.

Not likely, but it might not be such a bad thing if it were to happen. Consider this: despite all the hoopla over Obama and Edwards, Clinton will probably walk away with the nomination easily- much like Kerry in 2004. The Democratic nomination process will be over very quickly. If the GOP nomination is still up for grabs, that means the remaining candidates will garner a lot of publicity. The MSM will gleefully broadcast every minute of what they will call the “implosion of the Republican Party” with the result that the voters will gain a thorough understanding of what the GOP party and candidates stand for.
