Trouble in Weston? POLITICO reports Obama White House expanding search for next DNC chair. Ted Strickland and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out Of Touch) have been the favorites until now.

“But there’s a growing sense in Obama’s orbit that while either Strickland or Wasserman Schultz would be acceptable candidates, neither would represent the kind of bold stroke that characterizes Obama’s electoral style.

Wasserman Schultz, who’d become just the third female party chief and first in nearly 20 years, would offer a touch more sizzle than Strickland, but President Obama wants to be sure that other, less-conventional pols are considered.”
