32. re: "Imagine the impact if Biden under performs in those."

I'm not saying it's likely, but if Biden is not in first or second place in the delegate count after South Carolina, I think that would make it difficult for him to continue. There have already been hints that poor early showings for Biden could lead to a cash crunch. And if he doesn't go into Super Tuesday in a position of some strength, Bloomberg (who isn't really competing until then) becomes that much bigger a factor.

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