Menendez to Head DSCC
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), "the architect of consecutive Democratic Senate election sweeps, will step down as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and hand the reins of the party's fundraising and candidate-recruitment arm" to Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), according to CQ Politics.

"It would have been highly unusual for Schumer to take on a third term at the helm of the DSCC because he is up for re-election in 2010, and there would seem to be little incentive for him to risk an unblemished record. But since the election, Schumer had been coy about whether he would consider staying on for a third term, repeatedly refusing to answer reporters' questions."

Roll Call: "It appears that Senate Democrats can play offense in 2010 for the third cycle in a row. Democrats must defend 16 Senate seats next cycle, but Republicans must defend 19 seats -- including those held by more than a half-dozen incumbents in competitive states."
