will lose a significant part of his lead as this wears on, spread around a few competitors as they get a lot more exposure. Democrats have lots of interesting flavors to browse before we finally have to settle on one.But I'm doubting Biden will ever lose the lead itself.

And our first debate is less than a month away now.

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