Liberal Bloggers Protest Dem Rep. Wasserman Schultz

| | Comments (0)

Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz co-chairs the DCCC's Red to Blue program, but is in hot water with the netroots for refusing to endorse fellow Florida Democrats running against Republican incumbents Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Mario Diaz-Balart. Wasserman Schultz says she's not comfortable going against members from her state delegation, but bloggers are pointing out that challenging Republican incumbents is precisely her job.

Bloggers are especially upset by this Washington Post story where Wasserman Schultz and DCCC Executive Director Brian Wolff dismiss their frustrations, with Wolff describing the controversy as "much ado about nothing."

Fellow Florida Democrat Kendrick Meek is also refusing to endorse the challenging Democrats.

Many bloggers are now calling on Wasserman Schultz to resign her leadership position with the DCCC.

Over at the Huffington Post, Washington Note blogger Steve Clemons has a post listing the phone numbers and email for Wasserman Schultz's campaign office, DCCC Chair Chris Van Hollen's campaign email and phone number and the main phone number for the DCCC.
