For others like me who weren't sure of the proper way to to pronounce his name... maybe this will help
ˈb ... as in boy
ɛ ... as in bed
t ... as in tie
oʊ ... as in code

He's always been a Democrat.

(13,790 posts)... a fight in EVERY district and state. I give a very small donation to any Dem who shows up here on DU, to increase the PR value of the donor count. There's a link in the OP.

(81,561 posts)It's been SO incredibly irritating to see these races come and go and too many CONS run un-opposed. In the past, our team has conceded defeat before even stepping up to the starting block - IF there even was some "sacrificial lamb" who was there for the sake of being there but didn't bother to put up a fight.
Looks like - NOT ANYMORE!!!
