Ah, how the worm hath turned! Biden was a nowhere man, and now he’s top of the world, ma, top of the world. The MSM is treating Biden like he’s the comeback kid. Well, he ain’t no kid, and although … Continue reading →
[NOTE: See update below.] Biden did very very well today, although there are no returns yet from the huge state of California and not all that many from Texas, which awards 228 delegates to California’s 415. It’s a funny thing … Continue reading →
After the votes are counted on Super Tuesday the race for the nomination always starts looking more clear. So that should be the case by tomorrow, even in this murkier-than-usual season. There are lots of prognostications; for example, see this … Continue reading →
