(15,694 posts)I am not sure how I would like to see this DNC election pan out. I still haven't seen the speeches/responses and it sounds as if there are good candidates as well as a couple duds like Ronan. I lean Perez because, from all I have read, it sounds as if he knows how to organize, manage, unite and inspire. But it also sounds as if the event was not necessarily a shining moment for him. Still, I tend to judge people on actual results and actions, rather than by single speeches. I notice that both Howard Dean and Martin O'Malley - either or both of whom I would very much to have seen in the running and who were "forced out" early on - seem to like Peter B, whose major defect seems to be his last name.
But if the final results cause joy only among BOBers, I will have to acknowledge that those things that I have always believed in and stood for are no longer valued by the majority of those in the DNC. I will literally have been "left behind."
