Pete Buttigieg has it all. [View all]

[LAS14]

On the one hand we've got the NYT editorializing that the Democratic party has to move to the center.

On the other hand we've got persuasive talking heads pointing out that we can't ignore where the energy is, on the left.

Pete Buttigieg is one of the most level-headed, common-sensical politicians I can think of. Check the center box. But he's gay. Just by being he checks the left box.

I think we've past the time quite a while ago where being gay was fatal in national politics. I think it's pretty much the die-hard bigots, who will never change, who still count that as a deal breaker.

What do you all think?
