Im going to send you five bucks on venn mow. I would never do that. Mike is with joe biden. The guy who maybe has the most to win or lose this weekend because he goes in along with Bernie Sanders as a presumed front runner, someone who is going to gain possibly in later races, particularly in south carolina.
