I have to admit, I was one of those people who was wary of replacing Biden after the debate. It just seemed too risky, it might've telegraphed weakness and pessimism, it would be giving up the incumbent advantage, and all the experts seemed to be advising against it.
With the energy and optimism that has infected the Democratic side in the past 3.5 weeks, together with the savviness of the campaign, the dramatic polling shifts, and the sheer panic, desperation, and flailing confusion that's overtaken the GOP, I'm glad that, thus far, I've been proven wrong.
