You’ve got to admit it was kind of a stroke of genius for Joe Biden to have that “secret” meeting with Elizabeth Warren over the weekend. The mind of course jumps instantly to the prospect of a Biden-Warren ticket, even to the idea that Biden could, when announcing his candidacy say next month, also announce that Warren will be his running mate.
Game-changer is a hoary expression in this town, so forgive me, but that really would be one. I’d guess Biden would go instantly from his current 13 percent to at least twice that. His ego would have to adjust to having a running mate who is more beloved than he is and who draws crowds about four or five times the size of his. But even something short of an official alliance, a nudge-wink implication that Warren is somehow on team Biden, makes him a much more serious player.

But what if he just decides the hell with it, I’m running? A Biden v. Clinton primary battle could be—and if Biden manages to win a couple of primaries, most certainly would be—far more acrimonious than the Clinton-Barack Obama fight of 2008.
Why? Three reasons. The first has to do with race and gender and history. When Clinton announced in 2007, she was going to be the first woman president. Then Obama got in, and he was going to be the first black president. He totally trumped her on the history-maker scale. ......
Biden is not going to get anywhere with a campaign that says: “I have better ideas than Hillary Clinton does,” ...... No. He’s going to have to run a campaign that says, sub rosa: “I’m a stronger and safer nominee because she’s corrupt.”

Really don't like Michael Tomasky and Daily Beast, but in this case, his analysis is spot on. Obama and all media will be caught in between these two.
Stock up on popcorns and wait for the fireworks.
It is indeed a humbling experience when one realizes they do not have the creativity nor the insight to formulate any scenario as to the 2016 elections that will be more abased and stupider than they are already guaranteed to be.
Hillary and Biden are already ugly.
It's time for you to go. To prison if need be.
One has to assume that Barry has already told Slow Joe that Hill is headed for the big house and that is why Joe is jumping in. Barry will most likely let her twist in the wind until administering the coup the frappe at the most opportune time, i.e. when Joe needs a jump in the polls.
He he he .... You’re absolutely right. I have overlooked that part.
However, timing of Obama/president ValJarr betrayal has to be impeccable. Otherwise, it will drive tons of ‘sympathetic’ votes towards Hillary.
Timing is everything. Probably a week before the Iowa caucus.
They spelled “funny” wrong in the title.
Biden’s Gaffe-O-Matic would be set on ludicrous speed if he ran against The Hildebeast!
Only way it could get any uglier is to throw Moochelle into the mix.
ROFLMAO !!! (great gifs !!!)
And what's wrong with that?
I think that is why they have to do the drip-drip-drip of leaks concerning Hillary's malfeasance, possibly Biden candidacy, praising Joe, etc.
In the same way, this is why there is zero show of support from the 0bama Regime for Hillary. They have to get Hillary's supporters accustomed to the idea that she may not be the nominee.
In doing so, they have to present the case, via leaks at first, laying out her paranoid secrecy, national security recklessness, arrogance and her general gross stupidity as evidenced by getting caught.
Slick Willie she ain't.
Literally uglier. ugh....cover my eyes ugly.
These two rolling around in a hotel room. barf-barf Things seen that cannot be unseen!
Why are people assuming Biden will get into the race? Has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe Biden likes being VP and he offered Warren the opportunity and support if she selects him as her VP?
VP is the perfect job for Biden. He’s a likable enough guy, who does nothing but go to state affairs and fong up everything he says.
