I haven't even done that yet. Campaigns start way too early. I won't get serious about choosing someone until after the holidays.

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

But I also think she would make a great Attorney General. And we wouldn't be risking losing her Senate seat to a republican. Totally safe in California. Adam Schiff or Eric Swallwell would make a great Senator. And their Congressional seats would be safe, too.

Kamala would make a great AG and her Senate seat is safe, I think. Adam Schiff would of course be a great Senator, but right now he is critically needed in the House as a Leader in the Impeachment process. I think as Dems we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to public servants. We are fortunate to have all of these good people on our team.

He wouldn't be needed until the Democratic president has been sworn in.

thrilled to vote for any of them.

I'd be thrilled to vote for a tuna casserole over Trump. So basically, I will be waiting to see who is still around and enthusiastically supporting whoever it is.

It simplifies things a lot. Frees up time for hobbies.

Read about candidates? Follow the day-to-day horse race? Work on the ground in your state for a certain candidate?

That we're seeing here, and the sniping; I'm just not into it at all. It's a whole lotta ugly behavior, and it doesn't help their candidate or hurt mine...or visa versa. It's just people being mean and creating hard feelings. So in that way, I am having trouble focusing on the primary season, yes.
