2. New Hampshire Biden

is quite different from Iowa Biden. In Iowa, he seem rather subdued, but in New Hampshire, he reminds me more of the old Joe, more fired up and aggressive.

One of my mine concerns is Biden is spending less on ads in NH compared to the other candidates. I think I heard it was around $600,000.

as he was leaving, he seemed genuinely fired up. Maybe, he never saw Iowa as a great opportunity and it showed in his lack of enthusiasm. It would seem that Bloomberg was wise to avoid Iowa, though I don't think it would have been good for Biden to stay away.

I don't care for the politician who lies about our party, but Biden was accurate and respectful here.

I am ok what he says in this video.

Now, with the risk issue, I agree. But as I said elsewhere it is a risk with Warren, a woman. And Biden himself is a risk, in his own ways. I have decided I am comfortable with these three risks.

It is a risk putting Sanders up as a socialist, as he says. And down ticket, good point. I am not willing to take that risk.

when the possible alternative is another four years of Trump in the White House. I don't care if Sanders is a socialist, but a lot of voters do care.

I do not think it is a risk we would lose with Buttigieg or Warren or Sanders.

Now if Biden was talking about a risk putting Buttigieg in office as President because of his resume? I totally disagree with him. I think Buttigieg would be a good President and capable. I can see the same kind of risk with Biden as President seeing how he really feels he can work with Republicans. I want someone who knows better, hence leaning toward a Warren.
