I don't like to question anyone's sincere opinions, but it is hard to believe that Michael Steele, Rick Wilson & Stuart Stevens honestly believe Biden would win.

In their view, I think it's a matter of probabilities. Biden might be only 30% likely to win, but it's hard to imagine how the Democrats would nominate a replacement candidate who is more likely to win. I'm not convinced they are wrong, but I've never been a Democrat, so I find it hard to speculate about what would happen if Biden were to withdraw.

A dem for my whole long life, I think the party has shown remarkable pragmatism starting with the Clinton years. They have passed on many fire-breathing libs...Howard Dean, Bernie, Elizabeth Warren etc. As a result, I sort of trust them to find a decent replacement! I know, it's super iffy.

I am unconvinced that Steele, Wilson & Stevens think Biden is a winner. I cynically see them garnering attention with a position that sets them apart from most of their peers.

Obviously you don't mind questioning someone's sincere opinions. :-)
