Gay Guy Sez No to DNC Chair

Steve Hildebrand won’t be chairing the Democratic National Committee.  Kerry Eleveld at the Advocate interviewed Barack Obama’s openly gay deputy campaign manager:

"I’m going home to South Dakota to be with my partner and my dog," Hildebrand told me. When I mentioned rumors about him potentially heading up the DNC, he just laughed. "I would rather put a bullet through my head. I mean that’s nothing that will happen."

Usually, when politicians deny that they want a job, it’s all part of the DC courting process. But something tells me Hildebrand wasn’t just being coy. 

Wow, South Dakota. I’m impressed.
