Biden needed a moment. He had it tonight in New Hampshire. (tweet with video - must-see)

needed a moment.

He had it tonight in New Hampshire talking about he overcame a stutter as a child.

Such moments change things. It propelled Hillary to a shocking comeback in New Hampshire a dozen years ago.

I have great respect for Biden and what he's overcome; but the OP brings up the point that Biden "needed a moment" in the campaign and this was it. I'm contesting that point.

the best chance of stopping Sanders from winning, I'd vote for Buttigieg, just to stop Sanders.

But it doesn't mean I prefer Buttigieg to Biden, or think he'd be a better nominee.

To stop the extreme danger that is Bernie Sanders, sad to say.

Horrified that Bernie is stomping the field in NH.

However, this is a very pure moment - heart to heart - truth to truth.

Biden is a good man and an honest man. I can see why Obama picked him as his number two.
