Hello and welcome to the Daily Kos Elections weekly open thread for the Democratic presidential primary! These weekly open threads are intended to provide an oasis of thoughtful discussion and electoral analysis in the midst of chaos. Please keep things respectful at all times or I'll have to brain you.
Major news of the past week:
-Lawrence Lessig dropped out, citing a rules change in the next Democratic debate which prevented him from participating. Frankly I'd forgotten the guy was even running.
I'm gonna publish this poll monthly, I think, just to see how things change as we go along.
