I hope so. I want to see him speak at the dnc convention next time bravenak Feb 2017 #31
I came to like Buttigieg. herding cats Feb 2017 #29
Me too. I had decided on Perez until Pete showed up bravenak Feb 2017 #32
Only problem is, I have to reprogram my brain to pronounce his name correctly. herding cats Feb 2017 #34
I find the name difficult too bravenak Feb 2017 #35
As a politician, yeah that's tough. herding cats Feb 2017 #36

No more love for perez, huh? Tiggeroshii Feb 2017 #37
I could not get past his vouce cracking to hear his message bravenak Feb 2017 #38
I ended up taking my vote off of Pete and voting for Perez. I'd rather see Pete stay in office KittyWampus Feb 2017 #40
I can understand that. I wish Pete lived here, he would win a Senate seat bravenak Feb 2017 #41
Heh, I just redid my vote for Mayor Pete. There's a DU post with an article about him: KittyWampus Feb 2017 #53
That just makes me want him even more. bravenak Feb 2017 #54
I'm a big fan of Perez. NCTraveler Feb 2017 #39
Buttigieg was endorsed by Martin O'Malley and Howard Dean. That's good enough for me. FSogol Feb 2017 #42
I was saying that the fifty state deal would be back full force with Pete bravenak Feb 2017 #44
Has ellison not fully endorsed the 50 state strategy? Tiggeroshii Feb 2017 #50
I'm not sure. I know he will give his seat up if he wins and I'd like him to keep that seat for us bravenak Feb 2017 #51
Ellison will be the story...not the candidates...too much baggage. And I like Demsrule86 Feb 2017 #62
+1111 Peacetrain Feb 2017 #52
I wonder if the support Buttigieg is receiving here is reflective of the shift of DNC voting members Tiggeroshii Feb 2017 #55
Sticking with Ellison. Am okay with Buttigieg. n/t VOX Feb 2017 #56
I don't mind any of them except Ronan. Disapponted to hear the primary war started up BeckyDem Feb 2017 #57
Me too. He seemed only interested in refughting the Great War bravenak Feb 2017 #58
What Ronan did was pointless and only opened a wound that has no solution. BeckyDem Feb 2017 #60
Yeah, i felt the same way bravenak Feb 2017 #67

Me too. He and Ellison are proxys and I'm damn tired of this shit bravenak Feb 2017 #73
Reluctantly, I've settled on Perez. Midwestern Democrat Feb 2017 #63
I like Buttigieg because... LAS14 Feb 2017 #64
