Daily KOS: The voters didn't pick my candidate, and I respect that

I openly supported Elizabeth Warren this primary season, and still do! But it’s obvious by now that she won’t be our nominee. Despite the best efforts of so many, and for any number of reasons, the voters had other ideas.

Rural, white Iowa had other ideas, picking Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders. New Hampshire had other ideas, picking those two while giving a lift to Amy Klobuchar. Nevada and its Latinos went for Bernie. South Carolina decisively said, “JOE gets the Black vote.” And just like that, what was expected to be a day for Sanders to amass a delegate lead turned into a decisive and race-ending Biden rout.

Nowhere, in any of those contest, did Warren figure. Not even in her own home state of Massachusetts.

This race isn’t over, and there’s no reason Biden and Bernie shouldn’t keep fighting it out (and maybe even Warren, to keep her voice in the debates and maybe get some convention leverage). But looking at what’s left on the map, it’s pretty clear that Biden is likely to be the nominee.

The media didn't give her nearly enough credit or exposure.
