Hillary Clinton, who served as secretary of state during President Obama’s first term and worked closely with Biden, is the overwhelming frontrunner to become her party’s standard-bearer, but many Democratic insiders say Biden could present a formidable challenge should her campaign falter.

Biden could win, via the vote of his intellectual and moral peer, the American voter.

How about Biden vs. Christie?

It would be a more-even playing field. Or Biden vs. Bush?

America’s choices: Dumb and Dumber.

Once again, pointing up that Hillary is not exactly loved and revered as “inevitable” by big numbers of Democrats.

yes they will vote for her in Nov. 2016 if she’s the Dem. nominee, but, there is a strong desire among many Democrats to have someone else.

Part of this is that the Clintons aren’t liberal enough to suit how far left the Democrat party has gone in recent years.

Tom Biden? Steve Biden? Cornelius Biden? Jennifer Biden?

Surely they can't mean Joe Biden.

I’m confused (but that’s normal). I thought Hillary was inevitable?

I don't think Biden is a very good campaigner, but he is a good debater. It would be fun to see him go at Hillary.

And a Trump-Biden debate would indeed be a knee-slapper!

Don’t use ‘steam’ and ‘Biden’ in the same sentence. People might get scalded.
