(228,298 posts)And after what I've heard so far, I have a "favorite," but I'd like to hear from the rest.
Preaching to the choir here, I know... still...
The thing is -- who of them all knows the non-voting demographies, and who of them knows how to win those votes. Experience (more or less limited at state levels) which is usually considered the best qualification, doesn't necessarily indicate better results in the next two cycles.
For that reason -- and not reasons of "seniority" -- I'd like to see which candidate reveals best where his pulse is on the messaging that would get the non-voter electorate out.
If Jaime Harrison could offer a post mortem on what he's learned about this last cycle, that will also benefit the party, not just the new Chair.

(54 posts)Do we know why so many millions did not vote? Seems like we need to find that out, and see if we can address their issues.
