He will ride in on his chariot driven by unicorns and sprinkle fairy dust in the air and win the nomination and general in one blow.

He's so hot right now.

I won $8000 on the 2012 presidential election.
To assume all of Biden's support will go to Hillary is ridiculous. Some would, some wouldn't, and other numbers will change anyhow.

The mainstream media and the newspapers and pundits have given him a bit of attention. A lot of mainstream publications automatically assume Bernie is going to lose and some have even suggested (at least until the last week or two) that O'Malley is going to be Clinton's chief rival.

The internet and real life are where Bernie has popped up high and the mainstream media has basically been playing catch up with that.

I don't have a preferred candidate yet.

I try to post these polls weekly so people get an idea of where the candidates stand.

Don't read too much into it.

That is like the other day when someone posted "the people" are for Bernie and today working class brothern are for Sanders.
Like no one discusses politics outside of NH and Hillary supporters are not people or are not working class.
Where does her support come from Zombies on Mars?

simply have to be "taught" about Sanders. They won't "learn" on their own.

Nope. No condescension here.

can't see many Biden enthusiasts going for the latest addition to the party, so I'd assume the largest chunk of his support will go to the frontrunner, and the rest will probably go to O'Malley.

I would like to see O'Malley's numbers go up. Maybe he will take Biden's, as I don't think Biden is in the game. But who knows! Anything can change.
