The Next DNC Chair: TOM PEREZ WINS, makes Ellison deputy chair

[The Other Castro]

I believe the current count of known DNC supporters by candidate is:

Ellison - 15
Buckley - 10
Harrison - 3
Buttigieg - 2

Perez and other also have private whip counts, and they apparently show a very fluid race. Many of the endorsements that are being reported for people like Ellison and Perez are not actually DNC members, so they do not directly count towards their numbers.

There are 447 members, so 224 are needed for victory. 20 DNC member endorsements are needed to make the ballot next month.

Neera Tanden is also helping out. David Brock, I read in another article, blamed Clinton for not using his great oppo research dossier exposing Trump as a successful businessman & is convinced Trump would have been beaten then.

Tanden & Brock held a session in WV about "Hold Trump accountable"

Sanders responds:

[justfollowingtheelections]

I honestly don't care who wins.  What I want is for the DNC members that vote to pick who they feel is the most competent, not the one with the most connections.  I honestly fail to see how Perez is the best candidate.  To me he seems like an opportunist who hasn't said or done anything to convince me he knows what he's doing.

I'm hoping that Ellison wins, not because I feel particularly strongly about him, but because I fear a progressive revolt if they feel like the establishment pulls the rug out from under them again. So long as Ellison is competent for the job, I couldn't care less, I just hope the party leaders don't try and pick fights where they don't need to.

There's no hope...

Step 1. Be a white man who says that black woman Anita Hill is "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty".
Step 2. Be a white man who says that black woman Michelle Obama said "whitey" on tape
Step 3. Claim that Bernie supporters are all sexist and racist white males.

David Brock is the worst.

Pretty much my feelings. I like Perez, but he'd do nothing to ease tensions between the factions of the Democratic Party. Unless it's Ellison or Buttigieg, people are going to claim the DNC hasn't learned anything.

does nobody remember the republican "how to talk with women" retreats?

Buttigieg isn't really that good, but at least he's not an epic HP like Perez.

He'll please enough people to smooth things over, that's good enough.

I doubt it.

Ellison's lapsing on various issues (Lobbyist access to the DNC, Iowa's status in the primaries, ect.) has no doubt made die-hard Bernie supporters less enthusiastic about his candidacy than they were before. He's still their favorite, but Buttigieg is probably a close enough second at this point that there won't be complete and total outrage and allegations of conspiracy if he's chosen. That's my thinking anyway.
