I got the sense that a whole lot of Biden supporters here on DU knew what was going on, based on what they wrote and based on the percentage of support here on DU for Biden. Around the beginning of January, Joe Biden had about 16% support here on DU, based on the number of people who had chosen Biden's image. From that point until just before South Carolina, it only dropped about one percentage point, to 15%. That means that only about 6% of the Biden supporters here on DU got cold feet when Biden had done poorly in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.

Why were the rest of us holding on? A lot of us were waiting for South Carolina--just as Joe Biden was.

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