Personally, all those "feelers" for Biden, Warren and even Al Gore to run for the 2016 Democratic Presidential nomination tells us that the Democratic Party clearly knows that Hillary Clinton is seriously damaged goods. More and more revelations are coming out about her, and at the rate things are going, she could be gone by the Vernal Equinox of this year (23 September 2015).

This is why the very idea of drafting California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom isn't such a far-fetched idea. Newsom has three things going for him:

1. He has real executive-level political experience by being Mayor of San Francisco (with its crazy politics!) and now Lt. Governor of California.
2. He was on the cutting edge of the same-sex marriage issue, and that makes him very popular on the Left.
3. He's only 47 years old and photogenic, which avoids the age issue that may plague Hillary Clinton and would make him very appealing to younger voters.

Watch for such a move happening if Hillary does drop out.

Interesting....

For sure Biden....man I giggle just thinking about him running for President. Al Gore?

The Democrats are desperate aren’t they?

But Gavin Newsome....that would be quite an interesting election. The Gays love him.

Intriguing notion.

I hear they’re going to tout Joe Biden today. Everybody pay attention.

I’m sure the liberals are trying to find someone who is center left that would be as far right as they’d be willing to go but such creatures are extinct and do not exist in the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party.

I think a gay VP is going too far for most of the electorate, even now. I read that Biden was ‘talking’ to Elizabeth Warren. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Biden/Warren ticket to keep the appeal to women.

Watching Kimberly Guilfoyle cover it if he runs will be interesting.
