Good hire.

No, there are no bright spots among the names being bandied about as replacements for the various Bushco quits. This is good news from the Democratic camp.

New York's Chuck Schumer is taking the reigns at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. I applaud the move. It increases the DSCC's national profile since Schumer is already a national figure. Schumer is one of the most formidable fundraisers in the Democratic Party. And frankly, I think the northeast liberal wing of the Party deserves some favorable attention in the middle of all the talk about how we should best compromise our values to get Republican votes - which is, of course, nonsense.

Sic 'em, Chuck!
