79. Since South Carolina, we've seen a different Biden.

I suspect that Biden wasn't so sure of his candidacy before then. He seemed both hesitant and distracted. It APPEARED that he was losing capacity. Since SC, Biden has been upbeat and focused. Go figure.

He may, at 77, still be in a decline cognitive state, which would be natural for a man his age. But he may have enough drive and activation to nonetheless move forward and draw more people into his camp. Bernie is about the same age and would naturally encounter the same limitations based on his age. The VP nomination is vitally important for both candidates. Warren or Harris would be ideal, but not so if Sanders gets the nomination because picking either, for him, would vacate TWO Senate seats.

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