[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][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]

Identity politics.

He's black and Muslim.

Perhaps also considering a gender change?[/quote]

As I replied to the previous poster who made a similar argument, Ellison is a close ally of Sanders. Sanders just created a controversy of sorts by criticizing identity politics. There is not much ground to be gained by attempting to promote Ellison's religion so he is likely to shy away from identity politics.
