This morning, as Governor Chris Krispy Kreme's campaign is about to fold officially, I'm going to do what most all political pundits seem to do, I'm going to make some wild speculation based on nothing but a gut feeling.

| Geez! No more doughnut jokes. Gov. Chris Christie is dropping out of the race |
If you've been saying with confidence since then, based on reading it here, that both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders would win YUGE in the New Hampshire primaries, you've been indeed looking like the genius I promised you would be.
Makes you wonder why I'm sitting here in my man cave writing this blog, and not back on TV where I belong. I'm hoping, dear Friends, that with your help and support, my 30 years in broadcasting, and this blog's good calls--I will get back.
I'm the John Kasich of former TV pundits.
Anyway, back to business.
Today, I've got to think Joe Biden is doing some major soul searching.
The country's most well-liked pol should be in this race. It's most likely his last opportunity to ascend to the office he's always coveted, and it would be all but handed to him.
There is still a small window for good old Joe to jump through, and I believe he's waiting to see if Hillary Clinton stages any kind of comeback in Nevada and South Carolina, both in February.
I've been saying that she's damaged goods for the past 10 months and not a viable candidate. The results in New Hampshire vindicated me.
Joe knows how troubling it is that Hillary got blown out in a state she won eight years ago.
And if we take a closer look at the Iowa Caucuses, Hillary didn't win there either. Notwithstanding the six coin tosses for delegates, all won by Hillary and clinching the caucuses for her by 0.025%, remember that Bernie took 87% of the youth vote and 55% of women.

You may also recall that Barack Obama rode that same youth vote to victory in Iowa in 2008, when college students were on break and caucused in their home precincts. They were back at school for this one, nullifying most of their impact and not giving Sanders an Obama-like bump.
So, my wild prediction is that Joe Biden isn't out of this race yet. He can't bear sitting on the sidelines watching the party he's loved so dearly his entire adult life hand its reins over to an avowed socialist who isn't even a party member.
What Joe does is completely dependent on what happens to Hillary, and could be impacted by Michael Bloomberg entering the race as a moderate-to-left independent.
If Hillary somehow survives, well, I've had some fun writing this. If Bloomberg jumps in, Joe sits out. But if things are status quo, we're going to see Joe.
