InfoPeter Buttigieg (pronounced “Boot-edge-edge”)

The son of educators, Pete grew up in South Bend, where the value of education, hard work and giving back to the community was instilled in him at an early age. He was valedictorian of his high school class and went on to earn a degree from Harvard before studying economics at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.

Before leaving his job to campaign full-time, Pete’s career as a businessman took him across the country and around the world. Providing analysis and insight to key decision-makers, he has worked in a variety of areas including economic development, retail strategy, energy and logistics.

While his career has mainly been in the private sector, Pete has always been committed to public service. He co-founded the Democratic Renaissance Project, an organization of young people dedicated to bringing new ideas into public debates, and serves as a Fellow at the Truman National Security Project. He has also worked on Capitol Hill, at NBC News in Chicago, and on congressional, gubernatorial, and presidential campaigns.

A past president of Harvard’s Institute of Politics, Pete’s views on youth civic engagement and international affairs have appeared on National Public Radio, on local television and radio, and in newspapers including the Boston Globe and New York Times.

In his free time, Pete enjoys relaxing with family and friends, following Notre Dame football and restoring a historic home he recently purchased in the South Bend neighborhood where he grew up.

BrentinCO: Thought he'd stick it out through Super Tuesday at least.

The best explanation I've seen is that he's taking one for the non-Sanders team and is helping Biden. It gives him better odds of a prominent position in a Biden administration to build his resume for his next run.

Probably not until the primaries are over in June. If the race is very close going into the convention, he'll want to keep leverage with his delegates.

or as it turns out, Pete was waiting for his friend Amy Klobuchar to endorse first

I voted Bloomberg because he'll wanna show something for all the money he's spent, but my expectations have been so constantly subverted that I won't be surprised if he drops out Wednesday morning and Warren keeps fighting the good fight.

Warren keeps saying she sees a path to victory. I would think that if she loses Mass tomorrow she’d need to drop. But I’m using PAIndy’s logic that I’ve been constantly wrong on this stuff, so I’m picking the opposite of logic.

It's obvious she's trying to get a brokered convention and get the VP slot she was denied in 2016. She keeps saying she'll stay to the end, when it's obvious she should probably bow out and let the Populists/Lefties go behind Bernie (Same goes for Tulsi)

I don't understand this narrative that Elizabeth Warren's vote is automatically Bernie vote. She actually has quite a lot in common with Pete voters demographically. The well educated demographic is not the best for Bernie. I'd expect it to break much more evenly than Bloomberg voters.

If Twitter is any indication, all "real" progressives will automagically vote for Bernie. If not, they're part of a corrupt deal and will be labeled as snakes.

Perhaps the most fun thing about Biden's rise for me as a moderate, semi-Bernie trolling person, is twitter users slowly learning how irrelevant they really are.

People sometimes suspect I dislike Buttigieg so intensely, because he's gay.

As if I'd somehow be mollified by the thought of this hideous, rodentine creature molesting a woman!

The idea of Pete Buttigieg having sexual relations with a Homo Sapien is repulsive. Man or woman...it scarcely makes a difference.

Well, as long as it isn't personal.
