Which can be good or bad... if he ends up becoming the nominee despite these problems, the GOP now can treat him as 'damaged goods'. (But then, that's the nature of U.S. primary politics.)

Biden is the front runner because he's by far the most recognizable name, and has a strong association to Obama.  But IMO the guy just isn't a great politician.  He lost to Obama and Clinton in the primaries in 2008 for a reason, they just out-classed him as candidates. He didn't seem as up on the issues as many of the other candidates, he didn't seem to have as strong of a vision as the other or even the same hunger for it, that was just my impressions from the debate.  He didn't seem polished, meanwhile the others all looked very eager and prepared to win.

I do have concerns that should she become the Democratic nominee that her 'anger' will be seen as being 'oh, just a shrill woman'.

The thing is though is that anger is all i've ever seen from Harris.  I loved her in her examination of Kavanaugh as did everyone else, and she was angry as she should have been.  But every answer in the debates it's like she was PO'd.  I can listen to that for certain answers but i can't imagine voters want to listen to a POTUS complain with fury all of the time.  She's one tough cookie which i love but she needs a more measured side too, a side that is more positive & hopeful.

So far Buttigeig is my favorite.  He's a mayor, he graduated from Harvard and Oxford as a Rhode Scholar.  He served in the military as a navy reserve and served 7 months in Afghanistan.  He's also the first openly gay POTUS candidate, not sure how they would go over in the general election. He's only 37 y/o but talks like he's 57.
