1. Beat me to it.

Welcome back, Recursion.

I received the e.mail too.

Fellow Democrat -

On November 8, the Democratic party and our country suffered a major setback. Now more than ever, we need to listen to one another and work to repair what has been torn apart.

While I'm grateful to the supportive friends who have urged me to consider running for DNC Chair, I will not be seeking our Party's Chairmanship. The DNC needs a Chair who can do the job fully and with total impartiality. The national interest must come first.

In the days ahead, my family and I will continue to do everything in our power to fight for the Democratic Party, and for the more compassionate and inclusive country that we carry in our hearts.

"We are one, our cause is one, and we must help each other if we are to succeed."

IMO this decision is a good thing. Why beat his head against a wall? (NO pun intended.)
