of "horse race" coverage.

But for more than a couple of those on that stage tonight, this is their heavyweight fight. Warren and Biden could regain their footing, or not; Amy and Pete could build on their momentum, or not; Bloomberg could shine or get pummeled.

The point is that, fair or not with this being just the third state to be heard from, for most of these candidates their Nevada showing on Saturday can largely define their fates. If Joe finishes poorly again, sure he'll still have South Carolina coming up, but the writing on the wall would be in ink. For most in this debate, Nevada is a must-show-positive movement--and with this still bloated field it is clear some will not.

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