[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to give some tough love here.  He isn’t that impressive.  He doesn’t impress with intelligence or vision.  And regardless of his nickname, he is a rich white boy who went to a posh boarding school.  I think the party should learn from Virginia.  By now, the Democratic Party needs to offer something other than a rich white guy if it is going to succeed in convincing people it is the party of diversity.[/quote]

I am OP - and I agree in some ways. But I don't think Beto is a McAuliffe clone in any way. McAuliffe seemed tired and out of ideas. He's old, he's a Clinton buddy. He just seems like someone whose time has passed. I think Beto is more energetic and engaged (and he's younger). He's actually been out doing voter outreach for the last few years - not doing whatever McAuliffe was doing between terms.

I don't know if he's the guy. His presidential run suggests that he's not quite as compelling as he might once have seemed. But I don't think he's just some rich white guy who thinks he can walk into office because of course he can. [/quote]
