Omg Biden drops out

I’d just blogged about Casablanca this morning. Is this a very Rick Blaine (Bogart) sacrifice of Biden? 

Hm… I see Rachel Maddow has put it in those terms, saying, “What a man. What a patriot. What an act of selfless devotion to your country.”  (From a guest link to the NYTimes—here on Orange Crate Art)

 At any rate, I hope it will be like resistance hero Victor Laszlo says, “Welcome back to the fight. This time I know our side will win.”

  2. An honourable man. I am concerned that Robert Kennedy Jnr may split the democratic vote?

    1. Would Kennedy be more of a factor for whomever becomes the Democratic candidate than he would have been for Biden…?
      I think/hope he’s just a piddling independent who won’t get many votes—and that the new candidate—Kamala ?—will energize young people to vote
