Former Vice President Walter Mondale is endorsing Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison to become the next Democratic National Committee chair.
The move gives the two top contenders to helm the party -- Ellison and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez -- one vice presidential endorsement each, after Joe Biden backed Perez earlier this week.
It comes as Democrats head to Detroit for their third of four "future forums" Saturday, where candidates for party leadership lay out their visions, before the DNC's 447 voting members select their new chair in a late-February meeting in Atlanta.
"Keith was a Minnesota star in the state legislature and now in the US House. Keith believes that we need to help all Americans succeed, and this message of inclusiveness is one that has resonated with people in the 5th Congressional District in Minnesota, who have re-elected Keith five times and who have turned out to vote in increasing numbers ever since Keith took office," Mondale said in a statement....

Ditto, Massachusetts, unfortunately.
Worst than anything Mondale ever did when he was still alive.
He came within 3000 Minnesota votes of losing 50 to Reagan in 1984 and finally completed the cycle when he served as a stand-in substitute to Paul Wellstone in an unsuccessful attempt to save the U.S. Senate seat for a dead man.
Fritz is an expert
Did he knock over his drool cup as he scribbked out his endorsement?
Me and the other charter member of the high school young republicans club went to the Ferraro rally at the Tacoma Dome and actually got interviewed by some wanabee news anchor lady.
So I have been working for the cause before I knew how to tie a half windsor folks....dad handed me the encyclopedia and said look up windsor knots my son and afterwards I was stickin it to libs as a pimple faced teenager.
....btw...that was the 1980’s folks.

Minnesota sucks.
The Arab Muslims will “buy” the Democrats if they haven’t already and own them.
She said to me, was that refueling stop really necessary? No, I told her, but it was a lot of fun.
We then went to bed and spent most of the evening making love, but not so much that we were unable to get up in the morning and go vote before I headed off to work.
After a great evening of watching joyous election returns, we retired early to continue what we were doing the previous night. I was really, really tired the next morning when it finally caught up with me.
Dad called early and said "Did you hear they caught both of those guys?" Still groggy, I had to ask "Both of which guys?" "Both of those guys who voted for Mondale," Dad laughed.
What a year 1984 was! New bride. Great president. Lots of sex.
I’m not convinced it was actually him and not a family member or staffer who penned it.
I really did not know Mondale was still alive.100 ?
Democrats have already made their pact with the Devil. Why stop now?
A saying back in 1976....
Grits and Fritz give me the $hits.
NJ has the same problem; there were enough taxpaying Americans to elect Christie twice but it is a shrinking number (that is why libs want the whole state to serve as a sanctuary). I think we’ll soon be a one-party state like California, without even white libs (they are NIMBY types who won’t tolerate minorities in their neighborhoods).
Frankly, paying for all these freebies is driving out our productive class and their employers.
Was 89 in Jan.2017 (born 1928) we have people in Congress that age...
TERM LIMITS NEEDED...
Mondale doesn’t know that he’s not alive either. Sometimes “the evil that man do live on behind them”.
What a putz!
(If you don't get the joke, google the last 3 words of the sentence)
