pointing out Biden's strengths compared to Sanders':

Here’s the bottom line: Bernie is still a serious contender in this contest. And, he’s got a base of support that’s significant. But, there are also some real warning signs for him. The intensity of support for him doesn’t match that of the only other universally known candidate in the field — Joe Biden. It’s also become clear that Democratic voters are prioritizing 'beating Trump' over 'starting a revolution.' That won’t help his cause either. Of course, we don’t know yet if Biden is getting in. If he doesn’t, where will that early support for him go? If he does, will his strong numbers — especially on the metric of 'most electable' - hold steady if he stumbles under scrutiny? One thing we do know: this race is WIDE OPEN. And, will likely stay that way for a good, long time.



Looks like her new column was designed to appease Sanders supporters who were probably complaining, and who would loooove the headline about it being "Bernie's world."

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