3. That can't be

I’ve been assured by Sanders supporters here Bernie is the runaway front runner and is soaring in “all the polls”.

4. I just donated to his campaign...

...and moved my preference from Undecided to Buttigieg.

I certainly may end up changing my preference as the primary plays out, but as of today, he is my choice!

9. Not yet ready to leave the Inslee camp, but this young guy made a humdinger of a formal "debut."

I actually got choked up during the part in his speech wherein he didn't want to go back 20 years to relive that time, but rather to find himself back then, a young man deeply uncertain about "how he can fit into this world" and tell that youngster that he was gonna be okay.

VERY moving. That was an incredibly moving moment, a very personal monologue. I frequently hear the word "authentic" in reference to Mayor Pete. He's DEFINITELY that. He's gonna get a massive boost from this announcement speech. For many potential voters, this will probably be the first time they've had a chance to give him a listen, and get a sense of who he is.

11. I haven't done either, due to my long-time failure/jinx of 'my' candidates,

but am certainly inclined to do both.

15. Same here.

He is my early preference. I met him in August and was impressed.

Yes, that could change. But he is young and has a long time left to be a Democratic leader.

I really like most of our candidates.

Only three that I would never consider in the primaries, period.
