This is Joe Biden’s reality after nearly four decades in the Senate, countless fundraisers for his party and endless ego-massaging of his colleagues: Not a single Democratic senator, including the two from his home state, are publicly urging him to run for president.
And this is Hillary Clinton’s lot: A majority of current Democratic senators are calling on her to run in 2016, years before the election and months before she’s expected to even make up her mind whether to seek the White House again. That despite the fact that her eight years in the Senate ended with more than a dozen colleagues spurning her presidential campaign in favor of a younger upstart senator from Illinois.
Such deep support for a potential candidate this early on, practically unheard of in presidential politics, reflects the deep hold Clinton has over her party and the sense among senators that there are no other viable options to keep the presidency in Democratic hands. But the fact that senators with whom he worked alongside for decades wouldn’t at least stay on the sidelines so long before the election — as Biden is openly flirting with a run in 2016 — is also a personal and political repudiation of the vice president.

Who is Joe Biden ?
RE: Who is Joe Biden ?
Reminds me of the regular Sean Hannity “Man on the Streets” interview asking people -— Who is America’s Vice President?
By 2016 Hillary will be 69 years old, and a real has-been, while Joe will be both old and part of a failed administration.
I’ve been saying this for nearly a year: Hillary Clinton may be just too old to run as the Democratic nominee for President. Not when her potential Republican opponents are going to be 8-14 years younger than her....
Joe Biden for President in 2014!
Because our Republic will not survive another two years of Obama.
My take—Obama will be out—forced to resign, we will have president Biden, who will then resign for reasons of health after selecting Hillary as his VP. In 2015 we will have President Hillary—who will defeat the Mitt Romney-Jeb Bush Ticket in a close race. Woe is us!
I used to think impeaching Obama was pointless and counterproductive. But if he gets impeached, Biden goes in and will run in 2016 as an incumbent. So, would Hillary primary him? Would Kerry? Would any of thats help democrats?
OBAMA aint going anywhere ROTFLMAO !!!
Not only is there no chance whatsoever that Obama will be forced to resign before the end of his term, I only give 50/50 odds that he will leave when his term is over.
Like Fidel Castro and cockroaches, Obama will be hard to ever get rid of.
Nah, Nobody likes Obama.
Yikes! That is about the most depressing thing I have ever heard.
However, such a scenario happened in 1973, and the end result was Jimmy Carter defeated Jerry Ford. So, becoming POTUS in a roundabout way does not guarantee the electorate will affirm the decision in the next election. In fact, Jerry Ford, who was a decent guy, lost because he was associated too much with Richard Nixon and the GOP.
A leader can inspire allegiance via love or fear.
Nobody loves SlowJoe and he doesn’t scare anybody either.
He’s not part of either the Chicago Mob or the Clinton Crime Family, the superpowers of the Democrat party.
He’s just a dimwitted nasty old politician.
Nobody likes cockroaches either.
baraq doesn’t have any reason to leave after the ‘16 election regardless who wins. He is living like an African dictator with all the powers that go with it, and besides who will make him leave?
