If Biden wins big, the game changes. A good second, on with the show, let see what happens.

It's only personal, but I thought NH was the game changer in 2008 - not the result - the Yes We Can 'concession' speech. Thats when Obama became OBAMA. Yes we can win this, yes we change this country, yes we can heal the world. A once in a lifetime moment that balances that other once in a lifetime - the day RFK was shot and my parents could not stop crying in front of their children.

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