and whatever happens, happens.

Won't run? Or won't win if he does?

"More likely than not" to enter the race:

You should email him.

Secretary Clinton is the overwhelming favorite among Democrats. The only possible purpose this could serve is to weaken her before the General Election. Its time to squash all this nonsense.

Like, oh my goodness, where did it come from?

even if the dreams seem like a long shot or a challenge to others.

If Biden wants it, I say let him try. If others want Biden to try, I say let them try to convince him.

This isn't a zero-sum game. There's about 80% of people who never participate in primary voting. More candidates might draw out new people, get them to feel committed to participatory democracy. That'd be good for everyone.

great answer.

If he wants to run, let him. The presidency is open to any qualified individual. It's up to the voters if he wins though.

He's good enough
He's smart enough
And doggone it, people like him!

He won't pull any from Sanders or O'Malley, maybe some from Clinton.

But I bet he'll get all the Webb and Chafee votes.

He voted for IW and he brought us the awful bankruptcy laws. He's in bed with the credit card companies. He'd be better than Hillary, but he's no Bernie Sanders.

over which he presided, where Anita Hill was treated so badly.

We finally agree on something!

Why have they given him the green light? Because they know something WE DON'T! Can anyone figure it out? It's really simple.

Because the WH seems to think he would make an excellent president.

Personally?

I will have to listen to my own house more. Maybe it has something to say. Like, "Clean me."

'less you got one of those talking houses...

What is "the White House" gonna say? "No! No! We forbid it!"?

with donors shows that he is thinking about it. If he want's it to happen it will, no one else is trying to make it happen.

demise of the Clinton campaign in the very near future.

That's not marketing.

its what people do to avoid making themselves look bad. What would it look like to Obama if he said "no my Veep shouldn't run for prez."

Also, who is this "senior Democrat" cited in your article? Why do all the Biden articles read so cryptically about their sources?

Obama believes that smartest decision he ever made in politics was selecting Biden to be his VP. That ought to tell you something and that a nasty crack was made about Hillary Earnest said nothing to defend her.

I think that if he were not running his people would be squashing the rumors.

They seem to be encouraging them. Leaking the meeting with Sen. Warren is one clear example.


I am still not convinced, but I am far less skeptical than a week ago.

I just can't see what he thinks he'll bring to the table.

If he suspects/knows Hillary is going to take a coup d'grace, perhaps he thinks he can be a solid fall-back choice for a lot of Clintonites while being more electable because he doesn't carry the baggage of being anathema to the Hillary-hating faction of the base?

He is the seated Vice President. He has a lot to offer.

ANITA HILL .

won't be determined by anything being posted on DU...

You heard it here first!

out to the mound, yet.

He brought nothing to the Obama ticket and I really don't understand what he thinks he brings on his own.

in politics.

But as far as a campaign help or hindrance? I do not see how he was either. It was all Obama.

One possible explanation/CT is that corpoworld is unhappy that Hillary alone along with corpomedia hasn't been enough to marginalize the popular socialist so maybe adding another big bank-friendly candidate will get the job done.

You fucking fools don't deserve a choice!

and I hope they succeed because it will only chip away at Hillary base even more.

99% of Sanders' supporters aren't budging because we're lined up on issues and helping banks, credit card companies isn't one of them.

Their ideas are not at all similar. Joe is another corporate Dem.

Mark my words, even if she wins the nomination, she'll lose in the general. We need to win in 2016. Hillary isn't the answer.
