By EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen
The xxxxxx
------------------------------------------------------------
The 1950s are not coming back. But the nuclear family, far from being discredited, has been vindicated by the decay that surrounds us now.

** EVERLASTING YOUTH

** DON’T BET AGAINST JOE BIDEN JUST YET
------------------------------------------------------------
Contrary to predictions, black voters have not abandoned Joe Biden’s allegedly sinking ship, writes ([link removed]) EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen in the Washington Post.
Assessing last night’s Nevada debate, Mr. Olsen makes the case ([link removed]) that Amy Klobuchar’s clashes with Pete Buttigieg "can be exactly what she needs to catapult her into the top tier.” He also tempers expectations for Michael Bloomberg’s campaign, arguing ([link removed]) that “message, not money, is what produces victory, and so far Bloomberg’s has been lacking.” And Mr. Olsen explains ([link removed]) why a brokered Democratic convention – a serious possibility this year – would be “even more complicated than it sounds.”
For incisive analysis of this year’s key races and interviews with leading analysts, pollsters, and more, be sure to subscribe to Mr. Olsen’s weekly podcast, The Horse Race ([link removed]) .
