There may be a very long-shot pathway to the presidency for Vice President Biden in 2016, but running as a vulture candidate — whose candidacy would be premised on the bet that the partisan vendetta of personal destruction being waged against Hillary Clinton by Republicans succeeds — is not that pathway.
(snip)
Had Biden announced his candidacy many months ago and articulated a powerful progressive rationale for his candidacy, I might have supported him. He didn’t, and the sole premise driving talk of a Biden campaign today is a negative premise that is unlikely to happen, i.e. that the campaign of Clinton will implode.
Whatever he may say, announcing his candidacy now would be a virtual declaration of war against Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and millions of ardent women who believe the Democratic front-runner is under a vicious and slanderous partisan attack aimed to destroy the prospects for the first woman president, who is also the most qualified candidate in the field today. Many Clinton supporters would consider Biden a vulture candidate trying to ride the horse of right-wing attacks to power.

More splintering on the left punditry, the guy can't hide his bias. Good stuff.
not bad...
btw, Biden is political hack.
Because he's an idiot?
“...partisan vendetta of personal destruction being waged against Hillary Clinton by Republicans”
Someone is drinking the Kool-Aid.
Snurf snork slobber slobber.
Crazy Uncle Joe is in a win win situation. If he enters and wins and if he enters and loses(he really didn’t lose a campaign ,he did it for the party) he still wins.
Valerie and Michelle have switched parties?
Who knew?

If there is any justice in the world Hillary Clinton will be arrested and in jail before the election.
Biden’s possible running will be perceived as a barometer of whether or not Hillary loses her feasibility as a candidate, going forward. That’s why it will be protracted, with multiple fingers in the wind, for a very long time. It will be a way to test Biden’s feasibility over and against Hillary’s.It will take the shape of a finely calibrated experiment where Biden ,not known for subtlety or as an originator of his own thoughts,will have to be carefully scripted so as not to be TOO critical of Hillary, who may after all wind up being the candidate. His candidacy may be over as soon as it begins.
The idiot either is too stupid or just doesn’t want to admit it’s his fellow Rats who want her out of the race.
Invoke the 25th Amendment.
Wow. The author must be really smart! Here we have a vulture riding a winged horse, and issuing a declaration of war. That’s a mix of four metaphors in just two sentences. Must be a genius.
I'd say the most qualified to make everything she touches turn to $#!+.
Short version: Hillary Huffer gets butt-hurt over Biden.
...whose candidacy would be premised on the bet that the partisan vendetta of personal destruction being waged against Hillary Clinton by Republicans succeeds...
Partisan Media Shill Alert!
The wicked witch is melting and should be gone by Halloween. Then Biden jumps in. The best Hillary can hope for is a pardon for the whole clan.
