Any doubts about Florida's importance in 2012 just got erased. Debbie Wasserman Schultz just got tapped to head to Democratic National Committee. Via Politico:

The committee announced the choice in an email to members from Vice President Joe Biden.
“In selecting Debbie to lead our party, President Obama noted her tenacity, her strength, her fighting spirit and her ability to overcome adversity,” Biden wrote.
“President Obama expressed great admiration for her as a leader, and he was honored that she accepted this important challenge on behalf of the Democratic Party.”

Of course, I have fawned over the Congresswoman before, and believe she is probably the strongest progressive voice to come out of this state in years.
I do hope with this role she doesn't get skittish about challenging incumbent Republican congressmen. Personally, I think the pact that Florida House members maintained for years to stay out of challenges to incumbents has been a great thing, but she cannot live by that now that she has taken on this national role, and when so many important races in Florida will be in play next year.
But I am ecstatic about this choice and offer my congratulations.
