If he does decide, I'm sure he is going to wait awhile to announce. No one is going to smoke him out sooner than he wants to in announcing his plans.

'The not so good news is that (Hillary Clinton) is locked in too close to call races with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. And Vice President Joseph Biden runs just as well as her against the top Republicans, Malloy added.

I love the fact that it was Biden who ended up nudging Obama into supporting same-sex marriage.
Ahead of the curve.

I will not say the reason for this but I think you already know if you are objective.

Just too many unopened boxes heading down the conveyor.... not many have gifts in them

(11,989 posts)8. I'm sure there are some who don't want to see a female president.
But I think that the vast majority of Democrats who don't want Hillary don't fall into that camp. Being against the idea of a female president tends to run contrary to the ideals of people who identify as Democrat. And certainly it's been clear that Elizabeth Warren had tons of support from people who were not enamored of HRC.

If there is indeed going to be a debate in the next couple of months, I don't think he'd want to miss it.
