[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear Harry Reid will be available, come January.  [/quote]
Joy![/quote]

At least Reid knows how to assemble the nuts and bolts to build a working political machine.  That, more than anything is what is needed now.  That said, the Democrats have to stop worshiping on the altar of constituency group politics so much.  [/quote]

I'm sure Reid is not interested but he built quite a machine in Nevada.  That is the goal.[/quote]

Reid has endorsed Ellison. Ellison has been endorsed by Reid, Sanders, Schumer, and Warren.[/quote]
Why? What in Ellison's background makes him the best person for the job? I can't imagine a more controversial pick from the perspective of the average voter. [/quote]

Ellison has been co-chair of the Progressive Caucus. Apparently he has impressed those who have worked with him. You have to admit that Reid, Sanders, Schumer, and Warren cover a lot of ground.

I think the main signal this is sending is that there is a desire to break with the Clinton wing of the party. The Clintons -- at least in their most recent incarnation -- represented the inside game. That was good for consultants, lobbyists, and the entire political professional class. Lot's of money to be made. But, those folks just lost the election. Apparently, a few of those in leadership positions want to try something different.
