"Not nearly as scary as former Speaker Pelosi."
Yes, I agree. That was my greatest fear during her tenure, that something would happen to make her president!

There's still a pretty good chance that Biden will end up as the 2016 nominee. Although right now it appears that Hillary will run, there is a good case to be made that she doesn't really want to. But she and Bill have turned monetizing her 'presumptive nominee' status into an art form.

If Hillary ultimately decides not to run, there is a dearth of alternatives, and Biden becomes the frontrunner. Biden's compelling motivation would be to shake off the label of national laughingstock. Running a solid campaign for prez in 2016, even if he loses, is his best hope of doing that. |

I agree, a very good chance. It is quite common for VP's seeking election as President to be nominated by their party. Both Republicans and Democrats do it all the time. |

Actually I think Biden is a lot smarter that most republicans give him credit for. If fact, I think Biden is a lot smarter than most republicans.

While it is clear cut this guy is a total idiot, he looks like a genius when standing beside Sarah Palin.

Sorry but having actually watched the vice presidential debates, Bidens a LOT smarter then the right seems to realize here. Underestimate him at your own peril.
But....he isn't a great speaker like most presidents are. He puts his foot in his mouth on a regular basis. But these are speaking errors, not intelligence issues.
In other words, he is an excellent vice president. But I suspect he might have issues running for president.

Think again!
Also, he will be 74 years old in 2016. Older than McCain was in the 2008 presidential election. |

Boy, VP Joe Biden sure did wipe the floor with Paul "Marty Feldman" Ryan in their VP debate last year.
He stands head and shoulders above any Republican.  |
