1. Awesome!

Love Sherrod Brown. He is living proof that a person can be a true-blue progressive without being a total pain in the ass at the same time.

2. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

3. A Good Man, Ma'am

He has head screwed on right, and knows who to secure votes on hostile terrain without bending his dedication to progressive and liberal values.

Has one helluva an impressive wife, too....





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

12. Right on both counts, Magistrate

I would have supported his presidential bid, were it not for us losing a Senate seat in Ohio. Still, he is a solid, pro-union liberal in that politically wacky state and she is a brilliant columnist.

14. I As Well, Ma'am

He has long struck me as a fella could pull it off.

4. Good news.

5. Great!! Senator Brown's endorsement will mean a lot to voters in OH

[George II]

6. That raises the total to 16 (36%) Senators who have endorsed Biden, in the House 113 of 232...

....have endorsed him (49%)

7. Awesome!

8. He's Bernie's "closest friend" in the Senate, right? How humiliating for Bernie...

He's Bernie's "closest friend" in the Senate, right? How humiliating for Bernie... I'll bet they're not such close friends after this.

10. Let's do a quickie Progressive Punch check just for fun

https://progressivepunch.org/scores.htm?topic=&house=senate&sort=crucial-lifetime&order=down&party=

At least 3 Senators above Bernie have officially endorsed Biden (Harris, Gillibrand & now Brown). Booker & Durbin just below BS also have. Warren all but officially endorsed the other day. Of the remaining Senators with a more progressive voting record than Bernie or slightly less can't imagine a single one not endorsing Joe eventually.

Seems ol' Sanders is getting seriously outflanked on both his left and his right. Sure is lonely at the top.

16. I didn't know that

I expect Sanders' Twitterati to be condemning Brown as they have been deplorably attacking Lewis today.

18. I wouldn't expect any other congressfolks to endorse BS at this point...

...and I kinda doubt Bernie does, either.

9. mcar, thanks for posting this! :)

This is great news for Joe Biden!

[la-trucker]

11. Fantastic

[TomCADem]

13. Wow. This is BIG

I think that while Sherrod agrees with many of Bernier stances, it is clear that Sherrod is not buying into this idea of destroying the party or country to save it that has been espoused by Bernie surrogates like Susan Saranson or Cornell West.

15. Thank you Senator Brown.

Somebody is keeping the Wiki links pretty up to date. They already had Sherrod Brown on it when I checked earlier today not long after the news broke.

@JoeBiden “has the experience, the tenacity, and the empathy to lead in a crisis, and the hope to bring us together, and steer us toward brighter days ahead.”

26. Great endorsement

Hands down he would have been my first choice as a presidential candidate had his senate seat not been put at risk.
