    Yes, did you? Nothing in there about “chickening out”, whatever that would mean in this context. I think the fact that he’s not appearing on the ballot legitimately set him up to be in trouble there, it’s not out of line to say there was a risk of an embarrassing loss.

      Yeah I did, and it never said he was in a position to lose the new Hampshire primary. In fact the first paragraph states he was far ahead.

        … right that’s what’s being reported in the article - the polls showing him far ahead are the evidence that he’s going to avoid the humiliation of not being far ahead or even of losing, which some reasonably worried would be an issue given that he’s not even going to appear on the ballot.

      Polls of the Democratic primary in New Hampshire showing Joe Biden with about a 60-point lead over rivals Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson.
