Being a national figure might be a net negative at this point.

The Nazis will obviously slander, lie, and character assassinate -- it's what they do -- so that's a wash. But a national figure has already had time to develop rifts among potential supporters. That's why Obama was so perfect. He was bright shiny and new and he had no record to criticize, so he was free to craft his image purely with rhetoric.

A good looking non-threatening youngish midwestern cis white male from some completely irrelevant state with no office held higher than dog catcher would be ideal. It's really a shame Pete likes the dong.

Andy Beshear.

Mr. Obama (first black President, sorry Mr. Clinton) proves one portion of that characterization incorrect.

But he does prove your "national figure might be a net negative" posit as Mr. Obama only had two years (not terms, years) in the US Senate.
 
Swan,

Our discussion (started by me) was only if certain factors hit. I expect Biden to run and will vote for him the day early voting starts. I am not Nina Turner...I get how elections work and what is at stake.

A Kentucky Dem would be interesting.

BTW Kep I don't think Pete being gay will hurt him as much as conventional wisdom would seem to imply. He isn't flamboyant enough. (I feel dirty saying that)

*edited to change fat to gay...stupid phone.

How did Beshear ever get elected?

Insanely unpopular “out-stater” governor who pissed off the wrong constituency (teachers), coupled with amazing support from the eliminated candidates (especially Rocky Adkins) in an oddly-timed election (2019) that can favor Democrats in this ridiculously red state. He won by 5,000 votes. Alas, I don’t see him repeating such a feat.

Rover wasn’t completely wrong on election night 2019.

The people it bothers probably weren’t voting Dem anyway.

Is he in prison?

There are 2 types of LA politicians: ones who have been in prison and ones who will eventually go to prison.

No prison, don’t know if he’ll go, but if he does he’ll fit right in. He’s managed to win two terms as a Louisiana democrat, so there’s that.

Yeah, there are no bigots who vote democratic...

I think the quiet part that rarely got said was that because he was gay, there was no way Mayor Pete was ever gonna win in South Carolina, since that was the first state in the 2020 election cycle where the majority of the voters in the democratic primary were black, and a lot of black voters wouldn't support someone who was openly gay.
