RICHMOND-- A former governor of Virginia, Democrat L. Douglas Wilder, is urging President Obama to fire the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tim Kaine, another former Virginia governor.
Wilder wrote of Kaine, in a column for the Politico news Web site, that "the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee is the wrong job for him."
Wilder cited Republican victories in last month's Senate election in Massachusetts and in governor races last fall in New Jersey and Virginia. "Don't let yourself believe that Massachusetts and Virginia and New Jersey were some aberration," Wilder said, "and I hope Tim and the president will take it in the constructive way it was intended."
