I'd be right with you if I believed February polls really tell the story of November 3 (the day of the only poll that matters). Until we can see the future I prefer the primary to be about promoting the candidates we think would be best in the presidency, with the understanding that we all work our asses off to make it happen once the primaries are done.

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