It was a stunning answer at the time. John McCain trailed badly in the polls, had fired much of his original campaign staff and didn’t have much money. But Issenberg predicted that every other candidate in the race was too flawed and that Republican voters would eventually come back around to the campaign’s original front-runner: McCain. Sure enough, they did. I’ve thought about that conversation during Joe Biden’s rise over the past four days. The race isn’t over; Bernie Sanders could still win the nomination. But Biden is now the favorite, amazingly enough. He appears to have won 10 states yesterday, including the six southern states where he was a clear favorite yesterday morning as well as Texas, Minnesota and two states in Sanders’s backyard, Maine and Massachusetts. Biden [overtook](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgQiwSP4RCAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMjAvMDMvMDMvdXMvZWxlY3Rpb25zL3Jlc3VsdHMtc3VwZXItdHVlc2RheS1wcmltYXJ5LWVsZWN0aW9uLmh0bWw_YWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrJm1vZHVsZT1TcG90bGlnaHQmcGd0eXBlPUhvbWVwYWdlJnRlPTEmbmw9ZGF2aWQtbGVvbmhhcmR0JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjAwMzA0JmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE2NDczJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjE4NTcmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMDAzMDRXA255dEIKACASp19eeQjTjVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) Sanders last night in the race for delegates and has a significant lead in the combined popular vote. As happened with McCain in 2008, a large share of primary voters this year weren’t wowed by any of the candidates. They instead were waiting for one to emerge — especially one who seemed likely to beat President Trump. I don’t think it was inevitable that Biden would be that candidate, especially after his weak start. But after Sherrod Brown and Mitch Landrieu didn’t run, after Michael Bloomberg entered the race late, after Cory Booker and Kamala Harris dropped out and after every other candidate failed to appeal to black voters, Biden was the one left standing. Many voters have found their way back to him.
