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? )
