NBC News: “Iowa Democratic political circles were also abuzz Monday with word that O’Rourke may have recruited a top Iowa political consultant and Hawkeye state native onto his potential campaign team.”

“Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price told NBC News that Norm Sterzenbach had left his role as a consultant with the party on Friday after launching its caucus operations for 2020, including the formation of virtual caucuses that will allow Iowans to participate if they are out of state on the day of the vote.”

“Sterzenbach, who formerly served as the state party’s executive director, left his position to join the efforts of a potential presidential candidate’s team.”

1. Yeah for Beto

2. I like Beto

I think he's a long shot, but then again, so was Barak Obama.

3. I think he's going to be our candidate.

Incredible and mesmerizing speaker. Once he gets active campaigning it will get big fast.

I’ve seen the energy that he can drum up here in Texas. Heck, a month before the mid-term, I went to Key West, and there were Beto for Senate signs for him there.

If he does, we’ll also be lucky, because his energy bleeds really well to down-ticket candidates.
