    After 30 years of trying, Joe Biden may actually win a Presidential primary. The Susan Lucci of American politics.

    Time for a Bide


    Bloomberg's lucky to not be on this ballot. The link says that 46% of 713 people polled in South Carolina say they would be "not at all likely" to vote for him if he were on the ballot. Wouldn't be surprised if his team anticipated this and didn't even try to be on the SC ballot because of it.

    "do you want a debater or do you want a doer......"

    Just was talking at work with a moderate Republican about the primaries and he mentioned that spot and was impressed.

    If I recall from the aggregators' rough trends, Sanders' voting base floor seems to be more or less solid, whereas I'm not sure Biden's supporters have been quite as 'sticky'. This, coupled with a voting base that as each election goes on proves itself to make decisions more and more impulsively (otherwise I suspect you'd see frontrunners lose their spots gradually instead of abruptly), makes me believe that if Biden wins SC, he'll be pretty straightforward to unthrone.

    in Ohio the filing deadline is 100 days out. Assume same or similar elsewhere. So given when he entered he couldnt be on the ballot.

    Is he on all the Super Tuesday ballots?

    Biden has been hurt by 2 moderate billionaires. If he can win by 20, there's hope cali wakes up by Tuesday

    yes. its been his focus apparently. he could have filed for SC if he chose to. Announced with enough time. Perhaps saw it as a loser?

    But am surprised though he participated in that debate without being in the primary there.

    Nothing gets the clicks like an article about a brokered convention.

    You can bookmark this for later, it won't happen.

    It may not happen, but if I were a betting man, I would not put money on saying "no, it won't happen".  There are a lot of people who think it is somewhat possible to quite likely.

    I think that was predicted, was it not?  But I don't know why.

    He has a long relationship with the AA community, and it doesn't hurt that Obama trusts him.  He got the gold star endorsement from Jim Clyburn.  No one is more important in D politics in SC than Clyburn.

    Ahhh, OK.  I just figured out you meant African American community.  For a second there, I was wondering why South Carolina has so many recovering alcoholics!

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/27/what-pete-buttigieg-thinks-he-has-that-sanders-bloomberg-dont/

    Feb. 27, 2020 at 6:01 a.m. EST

    After interviewing former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg for a third time since December 2018, I came away with one distinct and favorable impression: He hasn’t changed. It’s one of the reasons he is where he is in the race for the Democratic nomination for president.

    When Buttigieg came to my “Cape Up” podcast the first time, he expressed a clear vision for where he thought the Democratic Party needed to go if it wanted to both regain the trust of the American people and retake the White House. Buttigieg’s calm, Obama-esque demeanor and intellect were a reminder of what thoughtful leadership used to look like after the first 10 horrifying months of the Trump administration.

    All of that was on display at the 92nd Street Y in New York in May 2019 when I interviewed Buttigieg, whose CNN town hall two months earlier had catapulted him to national prominence. And that self-assurance and message discipline remained as Buttigieg sat across from me on Monday in a hotel conference room in Charleston, S.C., to make the case that he should be the Democratic nominee.

    He is in the top tier for the nomination after eking out a delegate victory over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Iowa caucuses. But Sanders’s big win in Nevada and his rising polls numbers have folks wondering whether the democratic socialist from Vermont can be stopped. When I asked Buttigieg whether it was too late to halt Sanders’s rise, he said, “No, but it will be if we don’t get our act together.” When I asked him what getting “our act together” looks like, Buttigieg responded, “What I think that should look like is to rally around a candidate, perhaps the one candidate to have actually beaten Bernie Sanders anywhere in the country this cycle, which is my campaign.”
