1. He is an old, white, male. That wouldn't jive well with the DNC's image.

2. The Clintons still have a lot of pull in the party (which is why the Obamas and the Clintons aren't on the friendliest of terms).
And an old white woman would lol. I don't think the clintons have any pull anymore. As a democrat I won't vote for hillary and I'm not alone.

There are WAY to many video and sound clips of Biden saying racist things. And he's an equal opportunity offender. If he does enter the race, it will be comical watching a rehash of Biden's repeated and publicly displayed racism.

No serious person thinks that Joe Biden is a racist and anyone can make a video showing embarrassing statements. The GOP is welcome to harp on shinny objects, instead of issues, and they'll be as effective as harping on Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright was in their attempt to defeat Obama.

Her "Fauxcahontas" scandal will sink her. She's been promoted as Harvard Law's faculty's "first woman of color." But she has White skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.

Article Cites Elizabeth Warren As First Woman of Color Hired by Harvard Law School - ABC News
You're absolutely right, she got destroyed by Scott Brown in the MA Senate race. Oh, wait. . .

She never claimed to have any significant amount of Native American blood, just that one of her distant ancestors may have been. She may or may not have embellished on that, though the dean of Harvard Law School have said the topic didn't even come up when they recruited her. If you parents tell you that you have some distant Indian (or whatever) blood in the family, you tend to believe that without verification, especially pre-Internet. To your point, there are gazillion Americans with distant Indian blood who have white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. Don't you know this?

Maybe he is waiting for more poll results to come out or he speaking to donors.

He gets great numbers against republicans but we don't know yet if can win the democratic nomination. Hillary has a lot of campaign money
Maybe that's because he's openly racist.

“You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” – Biden, on Obama.

“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.” – Biden, on Delaware’s population

Do you also love that he's racist? I posted two exact quotes. There's more, if you choose to research Biden's racism.

Notice what the right focuses on, non-issues like Warren's Indian heritage, supposed racist videos of Biden. In other words, follow the shinny object, instead of showing the voters the policy differences between Republican and Democratic candidates. Why? Because Republicans can't win on their policies, which always end up lowering taxes on the richest and cutting social programs.

Really? Show any video of a Republican presidential nominee candidate ever saying Obama is the first mainstream African-American who is bright, articulate, and clean.
