3. Well, with respect to climate change at least, do we want pizazz or do we want real policy?

I'm happy if Inslee, who is probably one of the most long-term worker bees on climate change, brings his voice to the debate. I don't think he could win either, but his views on this subject are welcome if they push other candidates to adopt significant policy issues.

Pizazz and 50 cents will get you a cup of coffee. What we need is real, enactable, enforceable policy. Failed pizazz actually hurts the goals.

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