The brilliant political analyst Nate Silver is also to be a world-class poker player. In a recent column, he sees Biden as engaged in a strategy of MAD, mutually assured destruction. "I won't withdraw and so you can't win without me, so you have better rally around the flag." But it is a bluff. All we need is a for a few prominent leaders or a passel of less prominent ones to call the bluff. The "in all good conscience" except provides a way for Biden convention delegates to become free agents. James Clyburn himself, the senior Democratic leader in Congress, has called for a mini-primary and open convention. Harris can compete along with everyone else. It is no disrespect to any leader to insist they win the nomination rather than being anointed. We all understand the desperate need for unity and so we will rally around the flag of whatever nominee emerges from the convention. There are outstanding governors and other possibilities -- let's nominate one and clobber Trump in November!

Also read James Carville’s model in the NYT. He addresses all of the questions of “not enough time, not enough money”, etc.
