instead of throwing them into the ring. I guess anyone can run for president if they want to, but maybe they should have given more realistic thought to the possibility of actually getting the nomination before hollering "Me, too!" and jumping on the bandwagon. Some of them are evidently in it for increased national exposure, promoting a pet issue, or just ego-tripping, and maybe they shouldn't be grumbling about not getting the attention they'd hoped for.

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