7. I don't and I'm not...

I'm a Transportation Planner and College Professor. However, my wife and I have engaged in political activity in our free time since our college days when we were Ward Committeemen in Philadelphia. For better or worse, when we shifted gears to financial support, we began to find contacts at DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, and many of the Independent Expenditure groups who either pitched requests for support or gave us guidance on where to focus our attention. And I found that it made more sense to apply a dispassionate data analytics approach to deciding where we should provide financial support, rather than respond emotionally.

As for Joe Biden: I have great respect for him, and have attended small group lunches and dinners with him. Despite his reputation for "gaffes", he's very well spoken on policy matters. I just don't know if he's a compelling GE candidate at this point, and I wonder if his campaign structure isn't firing on all cylinders.

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