though. because, you know, if joe biden doesn't win iowa, black voters might see that as they did in 2008 when barack obama won iowa. and they might say, well, wait a second let me rethink this. so i think their vote is up for grabs. but i do think it's disappointing that we don't have a more diverse array of candidates. we will have a woman or two on the stage, so that's a good thing. we have a gay man. that's a good thing. but hopefully the concerns of all voters will be addressed. >> mara gay, always a pleasure to have you. thank you for always taking our questions. we appreciate it. coming up for us, our latest installment of elections have consequences when we come back.
