I have hopes.. real hope.. that if we catch this wind that is blowing and

viability in Calif. (and we will not know that till the end of the week.. the mail ballots do not have to be in till Friday if they are postmarked today the final totals for Calif.) .. we are in much better shape than many realize.


Its all a wait and see game.. If we split Texas, that will be awesome.. If we win.. I am going out an buying a lottery ticket!!!


Whew what a week this has been!!!

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

A healthy campaign is energized, creates its own buzz, and has a lot of activity. I often say Obama was one of the best campaigners ever because they knew the nuts and bolts - they answered attackes within hours, set the agenda/topic for the next day and beyond, and delivered visuals that brought media coverage. I think he was as good on the campaign trail as FDR. I remember Chuck Todd's take, 2008, he told us Obama just "stepped on the gas".

Democrats are in that same mood again, this time with Joe Biden. We won't know for a week or so for sure, but you can feel it. Everyone wants to get this drama behind and go after Trump! Joe has that ability, the voice, clarity of ideas, experience.

Take it to 'em!
