It is possible he will get a lot of votes. Which of the current candidates will be hurt the most by a Biden run?

For me, polling a candidate who has not announced against candidates who have announced just throws everything off in ways that cannot be known. Candidates who are well known but not actually running tend to poll higher than they do after people start hearing what they stand for and hearing the attacks on them. I look forward to his either being dropped from the polls or his announcing.
Obviously, if he did not want to announce at some point, he would have said so. He and his people are in the process of assessing his chances, including at fundraising. If they think he can make it, he'll go for it. If not, he'll stay with his family.

Showing that quote and what CHeney has done.
Plus I also think most grassroots Democrats do believe that most Republicans are the enemy.
The enemy of women, minorities, the social safety net, etc. Oh and the right wingers with all their birther/Obama Muslim/whacko conspiracy crap.
No, Joe may try to spoil, but I don't see him getting more than 10%.
