I remember well what Lee Atwater did to Michael Dukakis after he left the Democratic convention with a 17 point lead in the polls. Hopefully, Pete would have people close to him who have battled on the Presidential level before.

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