| Description | The newly-selected Democratic National Committee chair, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, said in her first appearance since the announcement that the reaction to Republican governors, along with Hispanic voters and Republicans' preference for the "ultra-wealthy," would carry Democrats to victory in 2012.
In an address to George Washington University college Democrats, Wasserman-Schultz said that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker deserved the "organizer of the year award" for spurring labor to organize and act against GOP policies.
"The sleeping giant has been awakened," said Wasserman-Shultz.
Asked about the strategic challenges her party faces in facing a redistricting of the country largely controlled by Republican statehouses and an electoral map more hostile to her party's fortunes, Wasserman-Shultz emphasized the crucial misteps she believed Republicans had made with Hispanic voters and the so-called browning of the American electorate.
"You would think that would be a pretty siginificant challenge," said Wasserman-Shultz about redistricting.
"But if you look at the demographics," she said, "Republicans haven't exactly embraced Hispanic voters." |
