In fact, over the past 60 years, Democrats have won not by nominating the "safe" candidate but by nominating the young and inspirational candidate (JFK, Carter, Clinton, Obama). As much as anything else, this explains my personal support for Buttigieg. He's young and he sounds good. He's actually "Presidential" in both his demeanor and presentation--quite unlike the Great Pumpkin in the White House now.

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