21. Gillibrand isn't my favorite candidate by a long shot, because of Franken.

I gave Warren a 'pass' on it because she didn't lead the charge and actually has economically solid policies.

I don't think Gillibrand will last long beyond the coming debate. She doesn't have much money, and whether it is fair or not, the Franken railroading job is really weighing her down.

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