Haven't heard much about the Cory Booker speech.

He seemed to be very animated. His “harvest of hate” line is pretty memorable.Will this lift him out or the 1%ers?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

...Lawrence O'Donnell just ran Biden and Booker speeches back to back

Should be about community, not poll ratings.

Your candidate takes a hit. When Joe was sagging a bit it was wall to wall coverage. I still saw a lot of Dems Biden bashing today in spite of his powerful speech. I’m still smarting a bit from the piling on and Obama bashing that has taken place.

You need a certain % of support (and money) to remain viable
You can have both community and polls

...he'll need something other than these early, early polls (and a speech ) to convince me he's the best person to take on Trump.

I'm going to work to elevate someone new to the process.

"Real world."

That neither Booker nor Biden made campaign speeches, or said much of anything about themselves yesterday. It was all about violence, tragedy, cause, and tRump.
