Harris at number three and riding the wave of the debate performance.
Sanders at four, but running out of gas. His thunder with the students has been stolen by Warren.
Buttigieg at number five and climbing quickly. Charismatic and is really easy to listen to. Ideas guy that knows how to get things done.
Booker at six, but looking weak. His performance in the debates hurt him. |
Guys like Sanders and Booker scare off the centrists too much. Both good guys are competent politicians, but both can probably make a bigger impact outside of the WH. Call it the Jimmy Carter effect maybe.
Also, Booker comes off as a little antagonistic when it comes to race issues. It's a good feature to have when battling in the trenches of politics, but it would probably be divisive when trying to be the president of the country.
Harris to me has to be the best speaker and most well rounded of the big names. You know she isn't a pushover, but she also isn't going to scare whitey the way Booker would. She seems like the type that would fight for everyone just as hard.
