Top Obama Strategist Joins Draft Biden Effort
NBC News ^ | August 19, 2015 | By Mark Murray

Posted on 08/19/2015 7:25:01 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

A top Democratic strategist has joined the effort to recruit Vice President Joe Biden into the 2016 presidential race.

Steve Schale - who served as President Barack Obama's top Florida strategist during his 2008 and 2012 White House campaigns -- has joined the Draft Biden committee, NBC News has confirmed.

This makes Schale the biggest Obama World person to join up with Draft Biden.

Schale tells NBC News that he has no knowledge of Biden's White House intentions, but wanted to join the effort.

Biden is expected to make his decision about a 2016 run in the coming weeks. He spent part of a recent vacation calling close friends to inform them he is thinking of running.

Biden supporters feel Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has become increasingly vulnerable as controversies surrounding her use of a private email server continue to plague her campaign. But Biden so far has little infrastructure in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, and a late entrance into the race may be difficult to overcome. . .

The Dems really have a shallow bench, to be thinking seriously about a buffoon, plagiarist, groper, and all-around general idiot as their go-to guy in 2016.

They are really counting on the low-information and FSA voters.

Personally, I think that Bath House is knifing the Witch so as to clear the way for the Fake Indian to run.

It sounds like Obama is only going to go after Hillary as much as required to get her out of the race. Once she’s out, it will probably quiet down and mostly disappear.

Better Biden than Gore. I despise Gore. Listening to him makes me cringe.

If they had any real sense, they’d run Kirsten Powers, but she’d smoke them intellectually. Good thing they’re stupid.

Actually, the most formidable campaign would be run by Jim Web, but, like I said, they’re stupid.

I think Andrew Cuomo might jump in. He’s as nasty as they come.

Biden is mentally disturbed. Therefore, he’s the perfect democrat candidate.

“Cuomo is too New York. Doesn’t stand a chance in flyover country”.

I agree with you but I no longer trust the judgement of most Americans.
