Taegan Goddard's Political Wire

Obama Prepares to Take Over DNC

Sen. Barack Obama "is quietly planning to take over the Democratic National Committee and assemble a multistate team for the general election, the latest sign that he is putting rival Hillary Rodham Clinton and the nomination fight behind him," the AP reports.

"Top Obama organizer Paul Tewes is in discussions to run the party... Tewes is one of the leading architects of Obama's success in the marathon Democratic primary race. He engineered Obama's critical victory in the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3, which gave Obama the upper hand and Clinton was never able to fully overcome."
