Interesting how so many from Obama's camp are loving Beto O'Rourke

The Spin: Biden, Beto and Bullock hit Chicago for presidential fundraisers


O’Rourke fundraiser tonight: As I reported last month, Louis Susman, a big Chicago fundraiser for Obama — who later appointed him U.S. ambassador to Britain — along with wife Marjorie Susman, are chairing tonight’s O’Rourke fundraiser, according to the invitation.

Sponsors also include Chicago-area political players, most with Obama ties: Austan Goolsbee, a prominent economist and onetime adviser in the Obama White House; Stephanie Sutton, who worked in the State Department during Obama’s presidency; Michael O’Neil, who worked on the Obama campaign and in the White House; John Oxtoby, another White House staffer who now works at Ariel Investments along with wife Roxana Oxtoby, the vice president of sales and product development at Fresh and Ready Foods in Chicago; and Todd Segall, whose LinkedIn page notes he’s vice president of Sales at Tubi.

Beto livestreamed the private fundraiser, as he always does...genuine, authentic and nothing to hide. Transparency and trustworthiness.

Beto's campaign started organizing canvasses almost two months ago all over the country, with events daily.

Much will change after the debates.

...said it on NPR. At the time all he mentioned was Buttigieg. And that's what I was going by.

But now that I looked for and found the full article- --what he wrote was a little different. He said in the written record that Obama also mentioned Harris and Bennett.
