Beto is in fifth place at 4% while Buttigieg is in sixth place at 3%. Within the MOE, but this is the first poll that I've seen in awhile where Beto is ahead of Pete.

It's kind of confusing. The alignment is between Harris and Scott's new company, not the Rasmussen Reports of polling fame.

I worry that we may be repeating 2016, nominating someone because it’s their “turn”.

However it turns out their can be no hard feelings, anybody we put up is something Orange Hitler is not, a sane human being.

Biden is likely the only candidate with the leadership qualities and political connections needed to repair Trump' damage. America needs his expertise, no time for amateurs.

The majority support other candidates, though. And to call the others amateurs diminishes the accomplishments of a great group of candidates, some of which, like Inslee, have served as a chief administrator.

Also, it's worth remembering that the delegate race is still tied at 0.

that can plug up the many holes the Trump Administration will leave behind. Although Gov. Inslee has spent a considerable amount of time in U.S.Congress, he lacks the necessary connections and political clout to jump start a new government.

President Biden will be ready on day one.

And, skills and philosophies vary as to what matters are urgent. Inslee has been clear about what his highest priority would be, and it's a quite compelling priority.

I wish we were less general about what it means to jump start a government. Several of the candidates, IMO, are more specific and focused about their transition plans than Biden, whose skills as a front-facing administrator still need to be tested.

I am doing what I can locally with other Democratic Party members by registering voters in nearby Philly. We figure it's never too early.
