He HAS AN EVENT tonight; logistically, it means he's pulling out this afternoon.

He should have left last night - other places to be and other people to see. MY opinion - thanks. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #3

+1, its the media that over values NH and IA relative to democratic party electorate. uponit7771 Feb 2020 #27

Yes but the never Bidens live in a negative reality LakeArenal Feb 2020 #31

Why waste time there when you can shore up your firewall? BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #4

He's being pragmatic, IMO... cynatnite Feb 2020 #5

See ya Joe.. jalan48 Feb 2020 #6

While he could do more in SC, the problem is that this is now the lead story Mike 03 Feb 2020 #7

Yes squirecam Feb 2020 #10

Until the next lead story. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #32

Stick a fork in it. denem Feb 2020 #20

hey at least he's doing better than 2008?! Locrian Feb 2020 #24

+1, and its not a winner take all state so Biden will still get a share of delegates uponit7771 Feb 2020 #30
