“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Martin Frost interviewed

Martin Frost, running for DNC, as interviewed by Burnt Orange Report. Personally, I think the guy may be getting a bit of an unfair rap. I would be okay with this guy in charge, especially from an organizational standpoint.

There was one answer that really stuck out for me:
One final point - which relates to the discussion in Question 10: It is long past time that the Democratic Party make a concerted effort to bring the scientific method into electoral politics to help target limited resources toward the most effective means of delivering our message and votes. It happens in the marketplace everyday, and Republicans have been conducting well-thought-out experiments in areas like voter turnout to learn more about what works in each election. We should be doing the same - and applying it to all our practices, from traditional methods like door-to-door canvassing, to relatively new political tools like online organizing.

Sounds good to me.
