In reply to the discussion: Super Scientific DU DNC chair poll!!! VOTE HERE!! [View all]Doreen
(11,686 posts)26. I liked both Harrison and Ellison.
I must admit I liked the fact that Harrison had been poor at some time in his life. I have always felt that means they truly understand the larger percentage of the Americans. I am not saying the larger percentage of Americans are poor but it does give them a better idea of reality. I have always had a hard time feeling bad for the middle class because the ones who are ignored the most are the working poor. I think Harrison would do well remembering them. From what I have seen and heard though it looks like Ellison is more likely to get in and I would vote for him.

If Buttigeig doesn't win look for him to be the Dem candidate for CD2 in Indiana.

I ended up taking my vote off of Pete and voting for Perez. I'd rather see Pete stay in office

Buttigieg was endorsed by Martin O'Malley and Howard Dean. That's good enough for me.

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

I wonder if the support Buttigieg is receiving here is reflective of the shift of DNC voting members
