The big "Mo" in primaries has been the story in the primaries for years (right or wrongly)

That's why it was so predictable that Mayor Pete and Bernie emerged after Iowa, why Biden lost steam nationally (not as badly as Dean did in 2004, thankfully for Joe, who I think is a great candidate), why Bernie emerged as the front runner after NH, and why Bernie is going to be on a roll after Nevada (given the results we ware seeing), and why the second place finisher will call themselves the comeback "kid"-- probably Biden, and may get some serious boost.

"Mo"= momentum

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
