Honestly, I've been so impressed with Mayor Pete from the first time I heard him interviewed (on a local public affairs station). He has the kind of intelligence (not just book smarts) and broad-minded understanding of a range of subjects, an ability to synthesize and explain, a personal appeal, and a damn good biography that makes for a stellar presidency. He can think on his feet, and he doesn't just repeat bromides. His candidacy actually excites me a bit, in a way that none of the others has thus far (even though [most] all would be perfectly good).

I just don't know if this resonates with the entire Democratic electorate, though. So I wait ... and remain "Undecided."

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