Buttigieg drops out of the race: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/02/pete-buttigieg-drops-out-of-20202-race-to-be-democratic-presidential-nominee

Now that was unexpected to say the least!

One point that I'm not seeing is spending. Biden did pour more money into SC than into all Super Tuesday states combined. He really had to win this to even just stay in the race.

Damn, Pete really wants moderates/centrists to win. Democratic establishment above all.

This is bad... this is very bad. Pete dropping out is gonna make more candidate shit the viability threshold going towards a contested convention. If Warren also dropped this would be good, but she's in it to hurt Bernie... urgh this is bad

Second choice of Buttigieg supporters in latest national Quinnipiac poll:

Klobuchar 26%
Warren 26%
Biden 19%
Sanders 11%
Bloomberg 9%
Don’t know 2%

Very likely that Klobuchar and Warren take MN and MA respectively now. I think it's good for Biden too. More than extrapolating from second choices, delegate viability and achieving the 15% threshold is a significant concern.

This is gonna sound PC, but I really loved the fact that a gay nominee was making such inroads. Can't imagine how much better he could've done better if he didn't ran on a progressive platform.

He seemed to shift between lanes at will from where I was sitting.

Yeah, Pete tried to make himself look like a progressive centrist, if that makes any sense. I tried to play them all at once to win.

Bernie: I defeated my heart, I can defeat you bastards!

And it's as if they knew Buttigieg was about to drop out

Good to hear that Pete dropped. Hopefully this gives Biden a boost during Super Tuesday. At this point I'd take anyone besides Bernie, Warren, and Bloomberg.

Biden will get a boost - but so does everybody else. And he will probably still get quite a few votes on ST as not everybody will have heard that he dropped out by then.

I wonder if any of the ST syates have early voting for the primary.
