Groundswell for Keith Ellison for DNC chair
2016-11-14
[LATimes] Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota
A former member of the Nation of Islam who claims to never have known about the NOI's anti semitism and anti gay past - as he now freely associates with Jews and gays and supports gay marriage
...only the Progressive ones, one imagines...
is slowly raking up support from some key figures within the party, such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who want him to be the next leader, following the party's humbling presidential loss earlier this week.

Citing more than 250,000 signatures in support of Ellison on a petition posted to his website, Sanders said the congressman is the future of the party.
I think it's a marvelous idea. Let the Democratic party sharpen its brand image even further, and watch the voters choose.
Superbly qualified, an absolutely excellent choice. I recommend a lifetime appointment.
With no possibility of parole...

#4  They've lost because the white working class turned away from them. So, they pick a candidate for their party's chairman who is as far as they get from the white working class. Makes sense.

#3  If the Democrats are going to dig themselves into a deeper hole, it might as well be with a new shovel.
