Don’t buy into Joe Biden’s momentum

Former vice president Joe Biden’s stunningly large victory in South Carolina on Saturday will give his campaign much-needed energy going into Super Tuesday. That doesn’t mean he has supplanted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the front-runner.

Biden’s win was more a feature of demographics than a serious comeback. South Carolina was the first state to vote with a large black voting population, and Biden had always retained that demographic’s support. …

The problem is, virtually no state that has yet to vote offers him such favorable terrain. CONT.
