Press had him behind in places he was never supposed to win.
Once his true base had a chance to get a vote, all that changed.

So much so, that every other primary candidate could read the writing on the wall. Thankfully, the best of those dropped out gracefully and threw their support behind Joe.

I also thought his debate performances were underrated, including his set-to with Kamala. He said his piece and held his tongue and that is exactly what he needed to do.

Still to the casual observer that SC-ST return from the dead was nothing short of astonishing. Whether he makes it in November or not, and I think he will, he earned a page in the history books, or at least the Guinness book!

(posts that is). Biden did come storming back .. the evidence for that is in the campaigns themselves .. Biden, faltering and running very low on cash .. Sanders, dumbstruck and absolutely shell-shocked following SupTues. On the other hand .. also correct in that there was virtually no expectation for Biden in the first three contests .. and everybody knew it. National polling had Biden as a clear front runner for almost the entire race (and even more clearly as the best in head to heads against Trump) .. with Sanders only very, very late starting to close that gap. So, the media and the pundits also drove some of this narrative of, "the dead come to life!"

You say you are undecided. Undecided between whom? Biden or trump?

And I'm still comfortable with that decision. (in fact, see even less reason to now)

and get rid of those caucuses -- they are undemocratic.

Joe Biden would have won a Nevada primary instead of the caucuses.

what happened.

We had hope for South Carolina but if you're like me I don't count on anything until it actually happens. James Clyburn coming out and endorsing Joe Biden on Wednesday certainly made for exciting encouragement and then when the votes were in and SC voted for Joe so Overwhelmingly that was Hope.. but would it be enough for Super Tuesday which was only 3 days away?.. Why Yes it Was!

And, then the following 2 Super Tuesday must have really bowled over the 100s of writers like Niall O'Dowd. America and the Planet were back on track!

Joe won in States where he had spent no money and hadn't campaigned in. BS spent 4x as much $$$$$ and he still lost. There's a lesson in there.

Thank you, ucr!

ETA~ A Big Mahalo to Pete and Amy whose dropping out and endorsing Joe Biden was Priceless in helping Democracy and Joe Biden to Win Big on the Super Spectacular Tuesdays!

Mahalo, ucr!

And the voters of SC and Amy and Pete and Beto. It was a team effort for sure and not one I was expecting or thought possible. And truth be told a slice of credit goes to Bernie Sanders for galvanizing the populace to get behind Joe or face the prospect of 4 more years of catastrophe!

certainly thinking about her when I wrote that!

And, Pete and Amy.. how could I not mention them Before Super Tuesday.. Good Grief. I'm going the ETA them in.. they were/are Vital to the equation.

As far as Sanders.. yeah you have a valid point.

Great pic! Thanks William!
