[quote=Anonymous]Look, I like Buttigieg, but his talents would be better as Press Secretary than as POTUS.  I don't see him as being particularly capable at large scale organization that you would need for a job like POTUS.  He was a small town mayor and then the secretary of one department of the government.  He needs more experience to be a viable candidate.  He can go home and run for governor, or he can work at a larger position in the federal government to try and get more experience, but we need someone who is much more experienced for the office.

Additionally, Buttigieg is a non-starter for the Democratic Party.  You have a candidate that simply because of his demographics (white gay male) will polarize the party and the country.  The country is not ready to elect a gay man as President yet and those who think that he can garner more than 40% support are truly deceiving themselves.  We've come a long way by having Obama as President and Harris as Vice President, but we aren't there yet.   And this would be a big resounding defeat for the Democratic Party.

Personally, I think that if the Biden is going to step down, there needs to be big party pressure on Andy Beshear to give up his governorship and take on the mantle.  He would be much more of a uniter than a divider that just about any other candidate that the Democrats have to offer.  He is a popular Democratic candidate that has verifiable liberal bonafides, but comes from a very conservative state and background.  He understands how to be a liberal in a conservative domain and how to work with a legislature that is bicamerally solidly on the other side of the aisle.[/quote]
