A contender to be chair of the Democratic National Committee dropped out of the race Saturday and endorsed Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., just days before Democratic officials vote on a leader at the DNC's meeting next week.
"While it was a tremendous honor to run for DNC Chair over the past few months, I am proud to throw my support behind Keith so we can ensure that the next Chair of the DNC is dedicated to investing in and strengthening state parties and ensuring that the DNC is an accountable organization," New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said in a statement first reported by NBC News. "As I've talked to the DNC membership, it's clear Keith has widespread support, and I know as our next DNC Chair Keith will successfully unite and grow our party."
Ellison said he is "proud" to have Buckley's support. He added that he asked Buckley to "lead our effort to provide the support and resources the state parties need in a new and innovative 57 state strategy."
Ellison was viewed as a front-runner at the beginning of the DNC chairman campaign, but has seen fierce competition from former Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. Last week, Perez announced that of the 224 votes needed to win when votes are cast, he has the support of 180 of 224 DNC members. The threshold a candidate needs to pass in order to win represents just one vote above half the 447 voting members.

May as well nominate Osama bin Laden; no difference really.
Unbelievable. Another f--g trojan horse. Frightening how many people cannot or will not grasp that there are some very well meaning people who, directly or indirectly, consciously or not, are intent on destroying this country and our freedoms. Wolves in sheep's clothing.

Deception, Lying and Taqiyya
Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences."
There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
Quran (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
Quran (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves" against danger, meaning that there are times when a Muslim should appear friendly to non-Muslims, even though they should not feel that way..
Keith Ellison for DNC chair,he can put Sharia law on those Democrat women.
I guess mr. Buckley must have got a phone call from someone to change his mind
Another Muslim, undercover. He professed this and now he hides it. Remind anybody of another Politian which did the same to gain power over Americans? Remember Obama?
he was either threatened or promised something
