Notable Quote of the Day
[link removed]
“It may be harder to think of Biden as a factional candidate than
Sanders, given that Biden also enjoys significant support among a
broad swath of demographic groups within the party, including a
majority of African American voters. But he’s nonetheless facing a
situation in which, if he did win, he might be a relatively
controversial nominee who alienates some wings of the party or has
trouble generating enthusiasm that can translate into voter turnout.
…
Of course, it’s also plausible that Biden and Sanders experience
more opposition than the other candidates because people simply know
more about them — they both have high name recognition and long
histories in politics. We found that candidates without such
histories, like Warren and former Housing and Urban Development
Secretary Julián Castro, weren’t really opposed yet by early-state
activists or Iowa caucusgoers. This could change, though, as
Warren’s new status as a front-runner means a good deal of criticism
and media attention will be aimed at her, and the number of Democrats
uncomfortable with her as the nominee may well rise."
– Seth Masket, Center on American Politics at the University of
Denver, and Dave Peterson, Iowa State University
