What do you guys think about a Joe Biden 2016 run?
Will he? Is he viable?

Is he viable? No.
Sorry, I can't base my vote on which one I'd like to drink a beer with. But he seems like a really nice guy.

Remember when President Obama, VP Biden, Professor Gates, and Sergeant Crowley sat down to discuss the awkward incident where Gates was busted for trying to get into his own home? Obama had Bud Light, Gates had Blue Moon, and at least Professor Gates was true to his own area by having a Sam Adams Light. What did Joe have? A Buckler, a non-alchoholic 'beer'.
If if ever saw Joe, I'd say, "Mr. Vice President, you could have had a Dogfish Head!" Being as he was the Senator from Deleware (and not much goes on there that is unnoticed) he would immediately know what I was talking about.

He ran twice on his own and did not get far in the primaries.

(28,394 posts)She usually seems so controlled. I bet she will be tightly scripted from now on.
That exuberance and spontaneity is what we love about Biden, but is all the media covers when he speaks, unfortunately.
Welcome to DU, LaDeeDah!
