Alabama, ETTD.

Pete has what? Youth. Other than that, what does he have?
Unless 2 of the following 3 (Joe, Elizabeth, Bernie) die or drop out of the race Mayor Pete is going to have a very difficult time catching them. I don't know how voters feel about Mayor Mike but my guess is he will leapfrog Mayor Pete when polling takes place in December.
What can and will Mayor Pete say and do to jump over Joe, Elizabeth, and Bernie? Possibly Kamala and Michael too.
I guess Mayor Pete must have something but again I ask, what? What does he have?
What did Obama really have? Obama was elected based on Hope and Change.
I truly believe 75% of Obama supporters had little to no clue where he stood on many/most things.
Trump was elected on Making America Great Again. See my comments about Obama supporters.
I think the best thing Mayor Pete has going for him is - he's not Donald Trump.
If Mayor Pete somehow wins the Democratic nomination, I am wondering how many people are going to use the fact that he is gay against him. My hope is none but that's not reality.
I would like to know what states Trump carried in 2016 that are going to swing left in 2020 if Mayor Pete is the nominee. Hopefully some would but I just have a strong feeling conservatives and racists are not going to be fans of Mayor Pete. Sadly, those "demographics" very well may be the difference maker in the 2020 election.

If I had the chance, I would vote for Pete.

I still have no idea who I will vote for in my state's primary. Lots of time between now and then for some to drop out and the contenders to continue to put together their platforms. We'll see.

Kamala just needs to unbutton the top two buttons of her blouse and wear a lace camisole as opposed to a bra and she would get back into this race.

she could campaign topless and she still would not get my vote.

Latest New Hampshire poll has Pete neck-and-neck with the other big three.

Anyone know if any of the political betting sites are legit?

That's a good thing?
Do you have any idea about the history of the New Hampshire primary?
Let's just say as a Democratic candidate you just might want to LOSE the New Hampshire primary.

Deval Patrick might be throwing his hat in the ring.
Are the Dems fucked?
Come on Dems, it's Donald Fucking Trump you're looking as if you may be unable to beat.

Yes.
Yes.
No.

Maybe a good thing for Mayor Pete. Probably not such a good thing when the Dems as a whole have no one who the voters are strongly wanting to support.
So you are aware that New Hampshire is a poor indicator of who will get the nomination.
I agree, no. Except see my response to my 2nd question. Can't say New Hampshire doesn't matter at all but you can say it doesn't matter if you can't win the states that really matter.

Iowa doesn't matter in the GOP.

Presidents Cruz, Santorum, and Huckabee told me.

As a relatively unknown Democrat the early states are everything

Who is a relatively unknown? Mayor (I should be calling him soon to be former Mayor) Pete?
You may have an excellent point. Winning or even finishing strong in New Hampshire would probably give him stronger positive recognition. Or it might make Dems rally behind other candidates because they realize Mayor Pete is probably not the best option to beat The Donald.
I think we should defer to lobster to report back to us on if Pete is "a relatively unknown" based on what Youtube tells him.

On another note, Chuck Blow coming strong against Bloomberg.

Then you have Omar's tweet the other day. I don't think it was blatantly anti-Semitic but I do think it was made knowing very well that she would receive the backlash she seeks.
I honestly believe she enjoys having Donald Trump disease.

Pete in first in Iowa in latest poll

Pete will never be accepted by the left. He's a successful white male.
