OK--I've Changed My Picks. I Had Harris/Pete, But Now I'm Selecting Pete/Amy:

Pete is just WAY smarter and more knowledgeable than the rest, despite his youth. Kamala lost me with her less than inspiring segment, and her adoption of Bernie's "let the murderers vote" position was a deal breaker for me. Pete just exceeded all expectations--and he is my home town mayor. Amy exceeded expectations, showing both intellect and passion (which I hadn't seen before). I'd like better geographical balance, but figure we already have both coasts, and locking up the upper midwest is key to the kingdom. This ticket has two Ivy League magna cum laude grads (Harvard/Yale), plus primo graduate school chops (Oxford/Chicago). I doubt any ticket in history can match those educational credentials! Now let's go out and WIN this thing!

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

She evaded questions and gave canned campaign speeches.

Buttigieg talked to the audience.
