    The race for chair of the Democratic National Committee came to an end today in Atlanta when former Labor Secretary Tom Perez was elected to the position, beating out Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison in a race that had come to be framed as a battle between the party’s Obama-era establishment and the burgeoning progressive wing of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Conceding the race, Ellison, who was backed by Sanders, pleaded with his supporters to “give everything you’ve got to support Chairman Perez.” Some Ellison backers in the room, wearing the candidate’s green T-shirts and upset by the vote, chanted in protest.

    The former labor secretary had appeared to be ahead, if only by a slim margin, in the final days before the election, which gave the party time to fret about potentially angry reactions from Sanders voters. Perhaps inevitably, given the power vacuum in the Democratic Party following the presidential election, the race became freighted with deeper meaning and led Sanders to condemn “a failed status-quo approach” embodied by Perez, who served under Obama. Well aware of the raw feelings lingering from a hotly contested presidential primary season, the two front-runners have been publicly adulating of one another and were spotted out to dinner in Washington the week before the election. Saturday’s messages of unity were almost certainly planned ones.

    But Perez’s win deals an undeniable morale blow to the Sanders-supporting wing of the Democratic Party, which feels that the party’s loss in November was something of a referendum on the status quo. Nina Turner, a prominent Sanders-turned-Ellison surrogate, told The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel that if Ellison lost, “the future of the Democratic Party will walk away.”

    The argument from the party’s Sanders wing was that Ellison was the best choice to put forth a message of progressivism that would reinvigorate the party’s base, implying that Perez was something of an establishment centrist. But Perez and Ellison laid out essentially identical visions for the party during the DNC race. Both called for a more decentralized organization that placed greater emphasis on the particular political climates and needs of each state, better candidate recruitment, and well-honed messages of economic populism that would speak to the party’s traditional base and beyond.

    Wasserman was a Kerry scion and from the old Clinton/Gore/Kerry political establishment. Perez is Obama's former labor secretary while his opponent Ellison was endorsed by Sanders.

    , that was a good one. I thought it was true! Of course you all had to fan out in 50 different directions to gather the goods. I got a day or two though. tee, hee.

    ADDENDUM:::And of course these two knuckleheads will call Trump the most vile names to get on the board. Oh, yeah, sit on CNN, or, MSNBC and call him stuff then look into the camera and put their nose in the air. Then the host will cackle ever so softly so you can barely hear them. Then they'll quickly change the subject off Trump and of course the guest will go right back to Trump. Why?

    Because that's all they know.

    Oh, okay. I admit it. I even contemplated it a moment, before diving in head first. I didn't look anywhere, or, run a check, but, I did hesitate as I got giddier. I thought I had a hanger. + I got a couple days out of it before it was debunked.
