27. I liked him too, at first.

I went to a rally for him the night before he dropped out. I always thought he was too slick by half, but I did like what he had to say; and during the rally, which was very positive and attracted a lot of union people, there was no suggestion at all that he was going to drop out. But first thing the next morning when I checked the news I discovered he had. As it turned out that was a good thing.

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