1. That's interesting how VP Biden

is ahead when he hasn't declared his candidacy.

He obviously has made a good impression on Democrats. I know I really liked him when he was President Obama's Veep. And, so did Obama!

2. The very best!

3. This is one of the reasons I'm liking Biden now--the

consistent polling/popularity. It gives a glimpse into what people are looking for—stability and familiarity. If he jumps in, Harris or he will win California, and that is my wish to eliminate one divisive small state contender again.

4. The Kamala Harris campaign is probably thrilled with these numbers given she is hardly known there.

Once things get heated up she is going to smoke the rest of the competition.

5. I almost want to vote for Biden just to see the EPIC...

...flood of amazing Joe Biden memes that will no doubt ensue.

6. I was listening to a piece on the car radio yesterday . . .

talking about Joey's strong political ties in South Carolina, his skyrocketing polls among minorities and how his strength in SC was one of the factors in his 2016 strategy (had he decided to enter the race).

Apparently, there's a lot of love for Biden--borne out of history and deep relationships--in the Palmetto State.

Despite his age, Joey still has juice.

7. +1, yesterday L.A. mayor Garcetti was on MTP talking

about Biden’s help on minimum wage, climate change and other issues. He was calling Biden a friend and said he thinks he’ll be jumping in. It was a good interview, not entirely all about Biden, but a good glimpse at how much he is valued by Democrats and his vast ties. Biden shows up for Democrats.

It helped me to see why he is consistently polling the highest.
