6. I don't think Keith was stupid to accept. He looked cornered.

I watched it live and Keith's face in the beginning looked very somber.

And what is Deputy Chair anyway? What power does it have and what responsibilities does it have?
If it is not in the DNC bylaws, than it was an empty gesture that Keith may have been forced to swallow.

The calls for unity I found lame. They sounded more like calls for conformity.
