1. I am not one little bit surprised. This is who he is, period.

He believes in bringing people together, in appealing to their better natures, and in helping wherever and whenever he can.

He's My Candidate.

[MelissaB]

4. I don't know a darn thing about him, but

it seems it's time to learn a thing or two.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. The more you learn about him, the more you'll like him.

He is the real deal.



BTW, I just finished his book. It's refreshingly honest and I was totally absorbed, all the way through.

[USALiberal]

8. What is the name of his book? I need to read it. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. "Shortest Way Home."

It's the first political autobiography that I was able to read all the way through, and I was hooked from page 1.

12. Thanks CaliforniaPeggy!! nt

[USALiberal]

35. Just bought it on my kindle! Nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Very cool! Hope you enjoy it. n/t

22. Thank you! nt

[elleng]

33. Thanks, this is great!

He was there on February 12, and apparently got a huge crowd even then!

[MelissaB]

11. I think you may be right.

I just watched the video below. I'm impressed with him.

[DownriverDem]

39. How about

can he win the Electoral College? I don't want a candidate that folks like. I want a candidate that can beat trump.

[underthematrix]

2. Definitely a stellar candidate

[DownriverDem]

40. However

Can he win the electoral college? We need to focus on who can win. I'm not looking for someone I like. I want to win.

3. wow!

GREAT story!

[TomSlick]

6. What a amazing thing to do!

Mayor Pete seems a uniquely decent person.

[Jarqui]

7. This story is not as good but it is more relevant

After I watched that, I started to wonder about rethinking America's past to understand it's future and whether this was a man who could help do that. I think he is.

[MelissaB]

10. That was excellent!

Thank you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. It's an excellent video which shows his mind and his heart.

Thank you so much for posting it!

[Glimmer of Hope]

15. Thank for posting!

[Lonestarblue]

17. Very interesting--thanks for posting!

The more I hear from this man, the more I find to like. He is impressive and is nudging me out of my undecided stance!

[IronLionZion]

13. The more I hear about him, the more I like him

We're lucky to have him on our side

[dawnie51]

16. The more I hear about this man.....

the more impressed I become.

[Dem2theMax]

18. Every time I hear him speak, or read something about him,

I keep thinking he is our next Obama. It may take him a few years before the 'P' word is in front of his last name, but I sure hope I am around to see this man become our president.

[BadgerMom]

19. I'm switched from Inslee after doing more research.

Of course, I still like Inslee and will support our nominee, period. But, as quixotic as it may be, I’ll do what I can for Buttigieg.

[sellitman]

20. Oh please America....

Please take a look at this guy.

He is soooooo special.

He is the real deal.

[pdsimdars]

23. I hear his interviews and he is so SOLID. And we keep getting these superhuman stories. WOW!!

[Tipperary]

24. K and r.

I think I will switch from undecided to Buttigieg. I was very impressed with him when he was on the CNN town Hall, and then again when he was on Morning Joe. Everything I have read is just amazing. He is the real deal.

[BlueFlorida]

25. What an amazing story!

We have such a fantastic panel of candidates.

[tblue37]

26. He is amazing. nt

[YOHABLO]

27. I'm really warming up to Pete. So refreshing to see someone come into public life that's decent.

There is a God.

[Docreed2003]

28. This is why I hate having to choose

I love the guy...I think he would be an incredible President and this story shows the level of character and intelligence he has. We certainly have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to candidates and Mayor Pete is one of the best!

[True Dough]

29. Another WOW story involving Mayor Pete

He's accomplished all this at age 37 and seems destined for even greater things -- with his heart, sense of decency and moral compass still intact.

He's a truly remarkable individual.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

30. This pushed me over the edge! I'm no longer undecided.

[Jarqui]

31. Here he is speaking Norwegian (two tweets on it)

32. Here's an interesting quote

[mobeau69]

34. Buttigieg as Joyce's Ulysses

Given that CNN just declared Buttigieg to be “the hottest” candidate in the race, might we expect a Molly Bloom response from citizens? Will they ask him with their eyes to ask them for their vote?

I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

After all, voters do fall in love with their candidates.

Incidentally, the best twitter response to Buttigieg’s love of Joyce has got to be this one from David Dayen, who riffs off the novel’s opening line:

Stately plump Pete Buttigieg came from the town hall, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.

37. Impressive! Thanks for your post! I'll check out his book!

[Stuart G]

38. I don't know yet...But think about this: A brilliant, caring, multi lingual ..

individual who clearly can present himself as a wonderful representative of a city in Indiana, 37 years old, compared to Stupid Don

...Can you imagine the two in a debate?

[Generic Brad]

41. Very impressive

I hope he does well once the primaries and caucuses begin.

[ananda]

42. Whoa! Does this guy walk on water?

I like him. How about a Beto/Pete ticket?

Works for me!
