Just saw Joe Biden referred to the 'reliable Buick' of this race.

As the granddaughter and niece of former Buick assembly line workers, I full heartedly approve of this description!

From the article - link below snips:

Biden has become the reliable Buick of this race.

His momentum accelerated as he broadened his delegate lead over Sanders with a series of decisive victories.

The former vice president's solid win in Michigan came in a state Sanders was depending on both to bolster his case going forward and for the practical delegate math involved.

He came into the day about 96 delegates behind Biden, and Michigan was his best shot at preventing that lead from getting any wider. (Democrats require 1,991 delegates for nomination.)

It was old, rumbled a lot and was pretty hard on the eyes.

We drove it for three years and sold it for $150 to someone who drove it quite awhile until we didn’t see it anymore.

I’ll take an old Buick. It’s a car that lasted a generation or more.

Hes not a Grand National or a GS.

I'm thinking Electra, LaSabre, or a Century. Skylark or Apollo, maybe...

Hes a bit crude to be a Riviera or a Regal. But entirely too cool to be a station wagon.

who inevitably drive in the left lane on a four lane road, at well below legal speeds, miles and miles from where they will eventually turn left.

You go out everyday and turn the ignition key praying that the car will start and get you to work for another day.

Two prayers everyone should say before going to bed. The health of Ginsberg and Biden.

I switched my pick from Amy K. to Biden after Iowa. It was obvious she had no path.
