53. OK--I've Changed My Picks. I Had Harris/Pete, But Now I'm Leaning Toward Pete/Amy:

Pete is just WAY smarter than any of the others, despite his youth. And Kamala lost me with that "let the inmates vote" nonsense. Bernie started that crapolla, but he was never in my mirror anyway. Amy really impressed me as a deep thinker and with her passion, which I'd never seen before. Rather have more geographical balance, but we already have both coasts, and the midwest is the key to winning. Two Ivy League magna grads--guessing there aren't many better tickets educationally in history!

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