When I hear about the rage over last weekend’s election for DNC chairman, I tend to dismiss it as wishful Republican thinking. But then you read things like this interview yesterday, between NPR’s David Greene and Leslie Wimes, president of the Democratic African-American Women Caucus in Florida:

GREENE: So is Perez the right leader to – to unite the party, as he says?

WIMES: Oh, absolutely not. Absolutely not.

GREENE: OK.

WIMES: Perez is just Debbie Wasserman Schultz with XY chromosomes….He’s establishment. The establishment Democrats, they want to maintain their power and position at all costs. And when Perez got in the race, I knew that it was over for Keith Ellison. They just wanted to make sure that they maintain their power and position. So while I’m disappointed that Keith Ellison didn’t win, I’m not surprised.
