I think there's many jobs O'Malley could do well. Yes, DNC chair would be one of those. Probably wouldn't be my top pick for him though. I'd rather see him in a job where he could make a big difference and not be seen as so partisan.

But then, to me the top priority is developing his brand so he can be our Presidential nominee in a future election year.
