According to this story, the chair of the Demoratic National Convention will be Ohio Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, not Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. There is probably no previous instance in history of a major U.S. political party switching presiding officers for a national convention, one day before the beginning of that convention. UPDATE: Political Wire reports that Wasserman Schultz says she will resign as national chair of the Democratic Party after the national convention is over. However she will preside over the opening of the national convention on Monday, July 25.
