Biden will live and die with the South.

Maybe I’m Being Captain 👩?✈️ Obvious, but it’s pretty clear that Biden must be the South’s favored candidate to have any chance at the nomination.
Super Tuesday features 5 southeastern and 2 southwestern states. I think he has to win at least four of them to become Sanders primary opponent. He needs strong second place above 15% finishes in the others.

So carefully watch: Virg, NC, TN, ALA, ARK, OK, TX.

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

I think that Biden is capable of winning at least four of the states that you mentioned.

And Bernie 8 states, Liz and Amy 1 state, Pete and a few others might come in second or third.

I am taking a political class and they made us guess today, that is mine. Totals include SC.

I'm concerned Liz won't get Massachusetts. One would think she'd win on a favorite daughter vote in her home state. Amy might not even get Minnesota. There's a chance Bernie will take both those states.

As for the South, Bernie is polling well in Texas, Virginia, and North Carolina.

No Democrat can win the presidency without winning the south. Period.

We had 28 Democratic candidates. Not a single one of them spoke with a Southern accent. Not a single one of them had held a position in the South (unless you are counting Beto in Texas...but a lot of the South doesn't really consider Texas as the South).

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
