Looks like Amy picked up an endorsement from Joe Sestak!

Anecdotally, I've heard Amy has a weak ground game in NV, while Buttigieg has a stronger one there.

if she does poorly in nevada (i.e. no delegates) she should probably drop out, or else she actually ironically hurts the chances of a moderate winning the nomination

Given Warren and Biden are toast, I submit that buttigieg is simply not electable, why should she be the one to drop out are you saying we should rally around Bloomberg?
i said if she does poorly in nevada. in that case her momentum is halted and staying in the race while having single digit support would just take away from the rest of the more viable moderates. she also has no minority support when we're already multiple states in. i'm simply saying that for the moderate wing of the party, it would be in their best interests to rally around a candidate before bernie starts running away with the nomination

My point Remains the Same even if she does poorly in Nevada. At that point Warren and Biden are toast more than ever, buttigieg still remains unelectable in November, and that leaves us by my count.... Bloomberg?

So my question Remains the Same.
I prefer Amy to Buttigieg in part because of her electability (and her experience and her platform), but I question where "unelectable" comes from in relation to Pete? Results suggest that he did pretty well both in the suburbs and Obama-Trump areas. The NH exit polls showed him with a pretty broad coalition across ages and education levels.

At my law school, there seems to be a decent core of support for Klobuchar. Pretty gender-balanced too, compared to the Bernie and Biden support. Warren is way out ahead in terms of overall backing though. You see her stickers everywhere. Then there are some people for Biden and a few for Pete and Bernie here or there. On campus as a whole, there are groups for Bernie, Klobuchar, Warren, and Biden. I think there was a Yang group too.

Throwback to when Howard Dean carried Vermont two weeks after dropping out of the race in 2004 and John Edwards won NC's caucus bigtime over a month after dropping out that year.
