Mondale endorses Keith Ellison for DNC chair
CNN Politics ^ | February 3, 2017 | Eric Bradner

Former Vice President Walter Mondale is endorsing Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison to become the next Democratic National Committee chair.

The move gives the two top contenders to helm the party -- Ellison and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez -- one vice presidential endorsement each, after Joe Biden backed Perez earlier this week.

It comes as Democrats head to Detroit for their third of four "future forums" Saturday, where candidates for party leadership lay out their visions, before the DNC's 447 voting members select their new chair in a late-February meeting in Atlanta.

"Keith was a Minnesota star in the state legislature and now in the US House. Keith believes that we need to help all Americans succeed, and this message of inclusiveness is one that has resonated with people in the 5th Congressional District in Minnesota, who have re-elected Keith five times and who have turned out to vote in increasing numbers ever since Keith took office," Mondale said in a statement....

Worst than anything Mondale ever did when he was still alive.

Fritz is an expert-- the only major party candidate in history who has lost elections in all 50 states.

He came within 3000 Minnesota votes of losing 50 to Reagan in 1984 and finally completed the cycle when he served as a stand-in substitute to Paul Wellstone in an unsuccessful attempt to save the U.S. Senate seat for a dead man.

I still remember with much fondness election eve in 1984. I had just married that spring. My wife and I watched the 10 o'clock news to learn that Reagan's plane made a "fueling stop" in nearby Rochester, Minnesota to give one last speech before heading on to California to vote and await the returns.

She said to me, was that refueling stop really necessary? No, I told her, but it was a lot of fun.

We then went to bed and spent most of the evening making love, but not so much that we were unable to get up in the morning and go vote before I headed off to work.

After a great evening of watching joyous election returns, we retired early to continue what we were doing the previous night. I was really, really tired the next morning when it finally caught up with me.

Dad called early and said "Did you hear they caught both of those guys?" Still groggy, I had to ask "Both of which guys?" "Both of those guys who voted for Mondale," Dad laughed.

What a year 1984 was! New bride. Great president. Lots of sex.

I’m not convinced it was actually him and not a family member or staffer who penned it.

NJ has the same problem; there were enough taxpaying Americans to elect Christie twice but it is a shrinking number (that is why libs want the whole state to serve as a sanctuary). I think we’ll soon be a one-party state like California, without even white libs (they are NIMBY types who won’t tolerate minorities in their neighborhoods).

Frankly, paying for all these freebies is driving out our productive class and their employers.

Mondale doesn’t know that he’s not alive either. Sometimes “the evil that man do live on behind them”.

What a putz!

Oh come on everyone! Lay off of Mondale! You're just exploiting, for political purposes, his youth and inexperience.

(If you don't get the joke, google the last 3 words of the sentence)

Wow! He's turning into George Soros! Seriously, didn't he die in 2004, and have his funeral turn into a political rally, embarrassing John Kerry? Who am I thinking of?
