Virginia governor to be next head of DNC, officials say
WASHINGTON (Winston-Salem Journal) - Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine is set to become the next chairman of the Democratic Party.
Two Democratic officials said yesterday that President-elect Obama has chosen the governor to take over the Democratic National Committee.
The officials spoke on a condition of anonymity because the decision had not yet been officially announced.
Kaine plans to work at the party part-time until 2010, when his term as governor is up and he can take over the DNC full-time.
Howard Dean, the current chairman, plans to step down Jan. 21, the day after Obama's inauguration.
