Deval is welcome

I find it so frustrating that some folks on here get irate when another accomplished Democrat talks about a late entry into the race. There is time and contrary to popular opinion- you don't have to be a Washington insider to be qualified. There are many of us that would love to see some youth and someone from outside DC. I support Biden but we have talent outside the 6-10 on the stage at the moment. Worse yet, some immediately take the knives out on these men and tear them down. These individuals are on our side. What the hell are you doing? Don't support them but welcome them and wish them luck. I can tell you right now there is worry on the ground that this race is going to be tougher than it should given our top candidates at moment. So chill out and see Deval has to say. He's one of us.

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

Too many of the declared candidates are stuck in single digits.

Maybe we need some new people.

12. Right - the ones @ 1% to 8% have just as less as a hold on the nomination as the one @ 30%. Nobody
