I hope Biden runs. It counters Hillary's dystopian manifest destiny.

We'll know in about a week.
Bidens taking week-long vacation to arrive at decision.
What I find interesting is that Beau Biden wanted his father to run.

Having said that... I can see a scenario... despite the fact that he is a 2 time loser big time in Presidential races,
where he could come in and actually be the nominee this go around.
#1, He is the sitting Veep, should give him a leg up on everyone else within his own party.
#2, Extremely weak Competition. Biden has to be looking at the field and thinking he could cake walk to the nomination. The only real competition is Webb, and evidently he is too much of a far right extremist for the party.
#3, His story. The word is his dying Son Beau's last words on his death bed to his Dad was, Run for the Presidency. Unfortunately I can see Biden using this in a shameful campaign strategy to win him over with all the bleeding hearts in the Democrat party.

#4, Obama, Biden can take credit for all the damage...I mean success of the last 8 years and say " But we still have much more work to do"

I have $300 on him announcing a run for president, however I don't think he has a chance to win. I expect Clinton to win, maybe Sanders could pull something out depending on how he does during the debates, but Biden... no chance because people will view him as a 3rd Obama term and while most Democrats are satisfied with Obama, they aren't overly satisfied.

Hillary is praying for Biden to jump in because it helps take attention away from Bernie. The other three guys (O'Malley, Webb and Chafee) have done absolutely nothing to gain any kind of support or attention. Hillary is feeling the bern...

LOL. If Obama ran again in 2016, he would win. He would have an easier time of it than Clinton will have. If Biden beats Clinton in the primaries, he would win too. The Dems will have to have a seriously flawed candidate to upset their demographic advantage. Biden is not it (though Clinton could turn out to be).

I have a feeling Joe won't run.
If he does run, then something is seriously wrong with Hillary.

Hahaha... the only ones that aren't are the ones who are not getting any attention. Webb.

Well it looks more likely now than ever that my op will happen. Clinton is toast and a "Admitted" Socialist is surging. Biden enters to save the day.

Here's the thing. People like Joe Biden. A lot. They don't like Hillary Clinton, just as they did not like Gore, Kerry, and Romney.

People claimed Reagan was a dope too, but he had the touch. Warmth and integrity mean a lot. Clinton has neither, and the less said about the current GOP crop the better.
