One more day's worth, perhaps?

Out of touch!... Disqualifying!... His poll numbers steady as a rock!... Wait, how could this be? But...But... he lost a lot of people as soon as he said this, no?

Fact is, Biden's personal views on marijuana, as well as abortion, had been well known for years. Doesn't seem to reflect on his popularity, or his ability to set his personal preferences aside in pursuit of the Democratic agenda. Didn't budge his poll numbers one bit. Perhaps because most Democrats don't consider his position so awfully contemptible, or they don't want to blow the issue out of all proportion, or their outrage is not so easily triggered, or, god forbid, they agree that additional research into the issue is a very reasonable step to take before considering legislation!

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