his judgement and actions during the Anita Hill hearing, is appropriate. Going after Biden because he has a tendency to say the wrong things at times is also appropriate, and one would hope he finally gets that message, as one would hope our other candidates get that message also, because they are all under a microscope.

President Obama was a master in thinking before speaking

I also have no issue with Biden or any of our candidates/potential candidates being critisized for making statements that are viewed as insensitive or flat out inappropriate. One would hope lessons are learned from this.


I am still not sure who I am going to vote for in the primary. I would love to vote for my Senator, Harris, but I will be looking at a lot of things before super Tuesday, especially in regard to how to avoid a brokered convention, and which of our candidate has the best chance to win in a general election, and that candidate better be able to win a few red and some purple states, or it won't happen.

We can definitely over play over-play our hands,

I see Washington Governor Jay Inslee just entered the Democratic race today.


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