Say It Ain’t Joe: Will Hillary Pick Biden?
The Daily Beast ^ | February 16, 2015 | Jeff Greenfield

The chances of him winning the presidency are, um, slim. But what if Hillary just keeps him around a bit longer?

In the financial world, inflation is defined as “too much money chasing too few goods.”

In the world of political journalism, inflation is “too many pundits chasing too few scenarios.” Like the editors of Cosmopolitan struggling each month to find new sexual positions, implements, and erogenous zones, scribes are already running out of ways to chronicle the strategies and prospects of presidential contenders: “How Marco Can Stop Jeb”; “How Paul Can Block Cruz and Huckabee”; “How A Fiorina-Santorum Alliance Can Overcome The Pataki Threat.” Meanwhile, we have only recently crossed the halfway point of Barack Obama’s second term.

Is there any unexplored scenario for 2016, any notion that offers something genuinely new to contemplate? Yes.

I urge Vice President Joe Biden to run for…vice president.

I know Mr. Biden wants to be president. He ran twice, leaving the 1988 race before it began, amid charges of plagiarism, and making a respectable showing twenty years later by winning 1 percent in the Iowa caucuses....

Hillary is going to have to keep Joe silent about the deal Joe made with Obama.

It’s genius, actually. As criminal as the Democratic party os, Joe’s hands are clean if only because he is kept out of all major meetings.

If Hillary becomes President, Biden will also be kept out of all the major meetings. If things go bad for Hilary, as with Obama, Biden can step into the Presidency pardon everybody and then retire.

If the MSM wasn't on the Dems side I would agree, but with their help he has beaten us twice.

It makes sense actually.

Hillary gets them the womyn and lesbian vote. Plugs gets them the special needs and dead people vote.

That's most of the Democrat demographic.

My chocolate lab is available to run. My chocolate lab is smarter than Biden, better looking; and would get more votes than would Biden.

Slo’ Joe’s virtue is in having both mastered the stump speech, and in redefining “stump”.

If she nominates Biden, the GOP can quickly tar her as Obama’s Third Term. Surely she’s smart enough not to do that.

Only Republicans are stupid enough to back nominees who latch themselves to unpopular presidents.

In the financial world, inflation is defined as “too much money chasing too few goods.”

Only if you are a Keynesian.

Simply put, "It's an increase in the money supply" is closer to the truth.

it’s going to be HilLIARy/Elizabeth Warren and it is going to be extremely hard to beat without a woman (like PALIN) in the GOP Ticket

Ernst is my choice. A woman, a conservative, and a Vet.

I hope she's interested in the job.

Lincoln picked a Democrat in 1864.

Nope. Hitlary will pick a younger man, probably an Hispanic.

She already has the far left wing lesbian vote locked up. No reason to add Elizabeth Warren to the ticket.
