candidate to do so, I remarked that she did a wonderful job and would be a force to reckon with.

I still think so. My dream ticket is Biden/Harris, and that's still my dream ticket for the general election. Their minor dispute doesn't change that for me, nor does it take that ticket out of likely outcomes.

Harris's only mistake was to already have the t-shirts with her childhood picture up for sale before the debate. That was not great planning, since it now looks like she was all set to "ambush" Biden during the debate. It was a good choice to do that, but not a good choice to provide evidence that it was all planned in advance. The media has noticed that, as well, and it takes away some from her victory on that one point.

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