"Fifty-five percent of the likely S.C. Democratic primary voters surveyed were African-Americans, who account for more than 60 percent of the state’s Democratic voters.
“When we only asked about already declared candidates (not including Sanders who hadn’t yet declared), black voters overwhelmingly supported Booker (38 percent) and Harris (37 percent),” said polling firm chief executive Mike Greenfield. “But with Biden, Sanders (and) Beto in the race, Biden has a clear lead among black voters, with 43 percent,” and Booker, Harris and Sanders all at 13 percent.

5. Somehow I don't see Biden running.

And I think him running might be a good thing. I can definitely see him winning should he run.

[irresistable]

7. The day that an unannounced politician who is the front-runner in the polls decides NOT to run...

...I will check out the ski slopes in hell.
