The week in Webb digest DNC

From the Kansas Dem Party on Webb:

Wellington Webb: Mayor of Denver. Webb is an established African American leader. He was articulate and focused on the need for the DNC to reach out to people who are closer to the local level such as mayors. He is currently a DNC Vice Chair but complained that the DNC Chairman made decisions without even the slightest consultation of the executive committee. He talked about the importance of helping local activists, especially in minority communities, learn political skills that will help them have more of a voice in the years to come.

Newsmax:

--Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. He promoted his experience in winning elections in the West. He ticked off specific complaints from several states, such as money problems in South Dakota and Republican's Spanish-language advertising in Nevada.

Webb does really bad in a DailyKos vote for DNC chair:

Dean 3,466 (54.3%)
Rosenberg 1,066 (30.8%)
Ickes 154 (4.4%)
Webb 153 (4.4%)
Frost 134 (3.9%)
Fowler 41 (1.2%)
Hindery 37 (1.1%)

From the Carpetbagger Report:

Wellington Webb -- The former mayor of Denver is going all-out in this race, wooing state chairs aggressively and even sending out videos to DNC members about his qualifications. Indeed, he's the only major candidate to formally announce his candidacy for the job. Webb is African American from an increasingly-important swing state, but he frequently clashed with unions in Denver, which may undermine his efforts.

Nothing really new, except for the poll. What you could read from that is Dean is insane popular with people with web access, Webb, not so much.
