Updated South Carolina Primary Odds: Joe Biden Surges to Be a Massive Favorite, Bernie Sanders’ Chances Slipping

The stakes have been crystal clear for Joe Biden heading into Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic primary.

This is the state where the former vice president and his campaign need to win and anything less would effectively end any real chance of him becoming the party’s nominee.

Biden entered this week as a slight underdog to current Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders, but the odds have since shifted quite dramatically in his favor.

1. Wapo Pulitzer columnist headline today:

Buttgieg? No.

Bloomberg? No.

Sanders? Never.

' . . . Democrats need a standard-bearer who can lead, not harangue;
who is seasoned, not green;
and who can restore us to health by administering the root canal treatment that will allow the country to thrive."

5. Thank you.

Eugene was backing Bloomberg, the reason I asked. But am sure he will back others. I admire him.
