He's rebooting: "The Other Rhodes Scholar":

The new ad, from the pro-Booker super PAC United We Win, will begin airing on TV in Iowa next week. It says Booker, not Buttigieg, is "the Rhodes Scholar mayor" who "has what it takes to beat Donald Trump." https://t.co/sk3cL17cBD

I'm pretty sure NCD's a Russian mole - he talks a good game, but when push comes to shove, he's nowhere to be found. Have you ever seen him and Bernie in the same room together? Thought not.

You got my "Gore Effect" intent? Maybe it's really the "Bradley Effect": "hey guys, identify your strengths. Then run away from them and embrace something that feels fake and opportunistic".

Another issue we're going to have to confront at some point is, "What kompromat is there on each candidate?" We see it with Trump, with Lindsey Graham, with Rand Paul, others who enjoy their junkets to Moscow. Who on the left besides Tulsi might be captured or compromised enough to at least take themselves out of the race?

enjoyed the confirmation bias for moi:

The answer has a lot to do with Booker’s unwillingness to stand up for what he once believed. Since early this year, Democratic moderates who are uneasy about Joe Biden have been casting about for a candidate. But Booker, by refusing to challenge his party’s left in the early debates, took himself out of contention. And now it may be too late.

The puzzling part of this whole thing for me is: who are the political operatives who convinced so many of the primary candidates that they had to go after the lefty passionistas, so many of whom are loyal Bernie fans who will not desert their man to the last minute? I mean really, look at the early primary states and tell me which one's culture, even for Dems, screams: go left! Not.

(Comes to mind they all, including Booker, needed to get pre-primary advice from Dagblog's NCD. Where was he when he was needed, huh? )
