Political primaries are a good thing, no matter how many candidates, because they allow for the exchange and testing of ideas.
With Joe Biden entering the race, an intriguing match up of messages is emerging between the oldest and youngest Democratic candidates. In his opening message, Biden, 76, speaks to the current political decision before the country as a “battle for the soul this nation.” The youngest candidate, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, 37, casts a more forward tone: “It’s not about winning an election, its about winning an era.” Both are noble stands, and both are different.
