9 Feb: BBC: Why a young former mayor is surging in US election
by Anthony Zurcher
Pete Buttigieg has surged towards the top of the pack ahead of New Hampshire’s Democratic primary on Tuesday. He’s drawing more attention from voters - and more attacks from presidential rivals who view this newcomer to national politics as a serious threat.
There’s an old saying about the way the two parties pick their presidential nominees - Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line...
After a 2016 election that turned conventional wisdom on its head by producing iconoclastic Donald Trump and establishment-favourite Hillary Clinton as the nominees, that nostrum could be reasserting itself...
At a campaign rally in Keene, New Hampshire, on Saturday, actor Michael J Fox riffed on the candidate’s unorthodox political background, describing him as a “left-handed, Maltese-American, Episcopalian, millennial, gay war veteran”.
The crowd in a packed college auditorium erupted in laughter. They roared for Buttigieg, as he strode out onto the stage in his now-trademark jacket-less dress shirt and tie, abandoning the lectern to pace the stage with a wireless microphone.

Shane O’Keefe, a town administrator from Walpole: “He’s tells it like it is,” he said. “He’s a very thoughtful person. He’s a very knowledgeable and knows the issues that affect people like myself and others.”..

Daniel Trubman: You’re over your skis claiming Buttigieg “won” Iowa.
Carol Livingston: I’m not a Sanders supporter, I’m for @EWarren, but Sanders is going to win NH, not Buttigieg...
Climate Clock: An entire piece exalting Buttigieg when Sanders in fact won Iowa and not a single mention of the IDP/DNC corruption and incompetence.
Update your bio, Anthony, you may be many things but a reporter, you’re not.

Back in the early 1980s, Time as well as US News & World Report were both fairly conservative, while Newsweek was fairly liberal...how times have changed.
