The 'Palmetto Promise': South Carolina will decide the race
By Antjuan Seawright, opinion contributor — 02/16/20 12:00 PM EST
With one caucus and one primary in the books, the 2020 race for the White House is off and running and, so far, it hasn’t disappointed. It has proved to be nothing short of a battle for who we are as Democrats, with some of the best, brightest and most consequential candidates of my political lifetime on display.
I also want to congratulate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) for their strong showings in Iowa and New Hampshire. That was big — and I don’t want to diminish their accomplishments in any way.
That said, everyone should take a deep breath.
To win the nomination on the first ballot, a candidate needs 1,991 delegates and, so far, only 65 delegates have been awarded. So, let’s not give the premature benediction to anything or anyone until the most influential constituencies have their say — starting with South Carolina’s voters.

Possibly, but with Super Tuesday following the next week, I wouldn't bet the prize pony on it.

Reading is sometimes a lot like fighting. It's hard do do when you're laughing.

IKR? The Dem Klown Kar is less crowded, but it's still a Klown Kar. IMO, all the Dem candidates have significant vulnerabilities.
