Despite his support from a wide array of Democratic power players, a POLITICO email survey of the 447 voting DNC members and follow-up interviews with more than two dozen national and state Democratic officials reveal that the Minnesota congressman faces serious hurdles in his bid to become the next party chairman.


“I’m hoping that there’s another candidate that’s going to emerge. I’m not really happy with the candidates that are out there,” said Illinois committeeman Daniel Hynes, echoing sentiments relayed over and over in interviews over the past week. “I don’t know who that person is, I just think it’s someone who’s detached from Washington, somebody who’s full-time, somebody who’s from the moderate side of the party, and somebody who’s going to steer the party back towards our ability to appeal to middle-class working Americans."

But the overwhelming majority of the DNC respondents say they have yet to make up their minds in a contest where many said they are waiting on one or more other candidates to get in the race.


“Ellison is not the front-runner, Ellison has no chance at all,” said Tennessee committeeman William Owen, giving voice to that view. “I’m a Hillary person. Bill Clinton said, 'I’ll be with you till the last dog dies,' and I’m the last dog. I will not vote for Keith Ellison

"I don’t know who that person is, I just think it’s someone who’s detached from Washington, somebody who’s full-time, somebody who’s from the moderate side of the party, and somebody who’s going to steer the party back towards our ability to appeal to middle-class working Americans."

..... and he gets his wish. what a lucky coincidence

Rep. Keith Ellison got his most formidable competitor in his bid for Democratic National Committee chair -- an Obama administration Cabinet member, outgoing Labor Secretary Tom Perez.

and these shameless fakkits are still slandering him

A lackluster black Muslim congressman from Minneapolis is a leading candidate for chair of the Democratic National Committee, the person who will need to connect with disaffected workers in Youngstown and Pittsburgh,” Keillor writes. “Why not a ballet dancer or a Buddhist monk?”

If he loses I'm done with the Dems. I might just stick as an Independent.

 

[Dr. Acula]

These people will not go silently in the night because they know they possibly will fall victim to irrelevance.

Yet Where are they campaigning and reaching out to the middle of America like Bernie and Keith have done since the election? They are sitting in Washington ranting about fake news and Russia.


Idiots.

Yup

Party Chairs in red states are endorsing Keith

 

[JahFocus CS]

If Keith doesn't win, I think I'm done even trying with the Dems.

Of course they are. They are all corporatist, they enjoy the status quo. Ellison is a progressive

So why are you a Democrat:Petty:

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Ellison needs to figure out why he can't even effect change in his own community tho.

 

[Dr. Acula]

So why are you a Democrat:Petty:

The best option is to reform the Democratic Party. Like it or not, for the time being there is a two party hold on our system. To even have a fighting chance you have to work within it and republicans are no where near where progressives want to be.

Keith Ellison is a democrat is he not? There are at least people you can pump up on that side.

Unless you get a idealistic billionaire, ala bill gates and warren buffet, to fund a long term project of building a viable third party in this country this is the best we got. It's more realistic at this point to promote progressives within the Democratic Party.
