Although many commentators – and the Republican Party’s leadership – believe that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party’s nominee, I’m not so sure. The ultimate proof? Look no further:
"Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his associates have begun to actively explore a possible presidential campaign, which would upend the Democratic field and deliver a direct threat to Hillary Rodham Clinton, several people who have spoken to Mr. Biden or his closest advisers say."
Biden and his buddies have started talking to Democratic leaders and donors because the latter are worried by Clinton’s “increasingly visible vulnerabilities as a candidate.” Biden was supposedly also influenced by the death of his son, Beau, who passionately wanted him to run. The vice-president wouldn’t even consider doing so, however, if he believed this one was Hillary’s for the taking.
And that’s not at all. Polling also shows that Bernie Sanders – the outspoken socialist – is making some headway. Crowds are swelling at his gatherings; not because he’s such an inspiring figure, but because there are a lot of Democrats who simply don’t want to support Hillary. Although Joe Biden is quite an extraordinary gaffe-machine, he’s to be taken much more seriously than Sanders. After all, in contrast to the senator from Vermont, Biden has connections, a strong organization and a power base.

I would support Slow Joe for President right now, not in the next race.
‘zackly.
Why wait a year and a half ?
It was Beau Biden’s dying wish.
Feeling your heartstrings tugged yet?
Hillary is actually damaged goods and the Democrats know this. There is just way too much for them to have to fight to keep her at the forefront - even then, with her possibly losing anyway.
On virtually every category, she misses the mark, even with a Herculean effort by rabid liberal ideologues to bleat otherwise.
There just isn’t any “there” there anymore.
Biden must wait until the last minute to jump in
time is his enemy. the more time and opportunity he has to speak, the more time and opportunity he has for saying stupid things
In other words, Slo' Joe has his own mafia connections, just like Hillzilla.
The Clinton’s won’t simply roll over so it may be time to break out the popcorn.
If Biden is the nominee then that means the dems have abandoned any hope of winning in 2016.
He’s the dems version of McCain.
Run Joe! Run!
I would vote for slow Joe before about 5 of the GOP-e stoogies that have rolled out.
ALL RATs are wild-eyed BABY-KILLERS!
One would think so. But they have pulled off some pretty amazing things. Two of them in the last 8 years, in fact.
Another day and she can’t get her broom lit?
The majority of the main stream media will not “air out” that dirty laundry. My money says Hillary is still the candidate to beat. The Clinton Political machine is massive.
“Let’s Go With Joe”? Ya gotta be kidding!
Who cares? I’d rather have a short yellow bustard as Presidential candidate if the alternative is Hillary - or Jeb Bush.
I actually hope he runs! :0)
Joe the Smoe v Hillary the H>oe!
better than Obama the ISlama!
Not weaker than I think.
I can't imagine a worse candidate, technically speaking, I mean.
