I think many Democrats were just "biden" their time, waiting to see if Joe Biden....

....did as well as expected in South Carolina. When he did MUCH better than expected, they started to flock to Biden.

He's gotten a whole bunch of endorsements across the spectrum in the last two days - two Senators (INCLUDING Klobuchar today!), seven Representatives, a number of Mayors, and even some of the "Hollywood Elite" that Sanders has been courting for months.

No doubt Buttigieg will stand behind him too. This is a groundswell, a snowball, and could evolve into a landslide.

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

But she never did.

And honestly, up until 2 weeks ago, I was not impressed with Biden's campaign. He seems to have found the fire in his belly, and I felt comfortable supporting him, given my choice is just not gonna make it.

It always seemed like that was the plan, though I wasn't so sure the past week or two.

It'll be interesting to see what he does if he doesn't do well tomorrow and Biden has a good day. I suspect he might drop out and support Biden with the others.
