I’ve been continuing my tally of endorsements of each of the three candidates for the leadership of the Partito Democratico. I’ve now matched them with information on each deputy’s past political experience — namely, the party they had previously run with prior to the merger of the Margherita (DL) and Democratici di Sinistra (DS). The table below shows Bersani winning amongst the ex-DS, and Franceschini winning amongst the ex-DL and newcomers.
| Bersani | Franceschini | Marino | Undeclared | |
| DL | 14 | 21 | 0 | 6 |
| DS | 40 | 19 | 2 | 23 |
| FI | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| PSI | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| No prior experience | 23 | 27 | 3 | 26 |
