Tomorrow is Super Tuesday with 14 primaries. So what is Amy Klobuchar doing? She's dropping out of the race and endorsing Joe Biden. It's amazing. Klobuchar campaigned for a year but on the day before the start of the biggest day in the race, she drops out. And she endorses Old Joe.
It's all a bid to stop Bernie Sanders. Klobuch, Steyer and Buttigieg all dropped out in the space of just two days. All hope their votes go to Biden, although Amy is the only one to make her endorsement explicit. Pete just did things like say that Sanders could never beat Trump.
According to recent polling, even the absence of these three musketeers make it unlikely that Biden will end Super Tuesday with more delegates than Sanders. It may be closer, but Sanders should still be in the lead.
It remains to be seen what Mike Bloomberg gets for his billion dollars of ads. He may surprise by exceeding the prospects that the media has assigned to him after the last two debates.
This whole sequence of events can only be called bizarre. Remember, in many of the Super Tuesday states, half of the total vote is already in via early voting. Those people can't change their votes now. Something like a third of the votes will have been cast at a point at which the media still said Biden was washed up with no chance to win.
It should be fun to see who wins these primaries. I'm rooting for a surprise victory for "uncommitted". Indeed, after watching this race, the only ones who need to be committed are the candidates.
