how do you guys feel about Keith Ellison?

I like him, but I worry that his comments on Israel will be the focus of conversations about the DNC. I worry in general that the Sanders brand will bring all Democrats down (so far the ones that Sanders endorsed: Teachout and Feingold, lost worse than Hillary, also a lot of his policies lost in even liberal states like Colorado and California).

I like Tom Perez a lot, he's worked on a lot of civil rights issues, voting rights issues, and he's Obama's guy and that engenders a level of trust from me.

They are both good choices, i was just wondering how everyone here is leaning.
