Some New England Democrats think Beto O'Rourke is Democrats' best chance at winning the White House in 2020, and they're making it official. Tonight, Draft Beto 2020 is going live (at least the website), the organizers told CNN Wednesday.
O'Rourke is not involved with the political action committee, which is co-chaired by New England-based Democratic strategists Lauren Pardi, Will Herberich and Adam Webster.
"Beto hasn't decided whether he's running for President," the group writes in an email that will be sent to followers on Thursday morning -- an email list they say is thousands strong. "However, we believe strongly in Beto's potential candidacy and think it's critical to start organizing now. In a field that could include more than a dozen candidates, there's not a moment to waste.
"Make no mistake about it," they add, "Beto can win. A recent Politico poll showed that among the field of potential Democratic candidates, Beto was third -- behind only Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders. ...

Who We Are: We’re a group of people who care about the future of our country, and believe Beto O’Rourke should be the next President of the United States. We’re volunteers, and we’re not affiliated with any official 2020 campaigns. But like so many others, we’re worried about our country’s future and feel that we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.
We take our inspiration from organizations that have channelled people’s hunger for change into authentic, grassroots activism. We’re not taking big money donations. We’re simply looking to build a grassroots movement of people who believe in Beto like we do.
Why Beto? Every four years, we’re told that “this is the most important election of our lifetime.” The difference this time is that 2020 actually is. As Democrats, we need to nominate a candidate who will move our country past four years of turmoil and bigotry.
Even more important, we need to nominate a candidate who can unite Democrats - and all Americans - around a shared vision of who we are as a party and a nation. Democrats win when we remind people what we stand for: fairness, inclusivity, and bold, progressive solutions to the challenges we all face.

Don't know much about Sherrod Brown, just that Hillary had considered him for VP in the last prez election. That will def'ly give Beto great prep for his eventual run so it's a great!
Biden or Brown, it's still B&B with VP Beto 
so i like it
