Biden is NOT going to run, imo.

I also think that Trump on SNL means he will be dropping out, too. Both Gore and McCain hosted SNL knowing they were NOT going to run again.

I think corporate media tends to be WAY wrong about most things, and sometimes DU follows them blindly.

Of course, I could be wrong, but, I doubt it in this case.

In history, I think it has been the VP's job to let the President lean on them. I think we have to people he of great conscious and they both lean on each other. If Biden is about to say something personally difficult, I doubt there is anywhere Obama would want to be than by his side. I really think they have a very special relationship.

Biden's words are Obama's words, as in: "something has to be done when a nation's top 700 families own half the wealth of the rest of the nation's families" (not verbatim).

The Democratic Party is moving hard to the left of the what passes for the current 'status quo left' in America and the lesson of Canada has already been learned.

How far left will the party go?
