Plus, it takes a long time to get people ready to vote for a candidate. Even though Biden's been VP for two terms, it's going to be hard to get voters to think of him as their candidate for president with only a short lead-up to the election.
It's striking how Obama is distancing himself from Hillary -- she would never intentionally put America at risk -- but if she were going to be replaced it would have happened by now.
It is too late. The three recent puff pieces on Biden could be irrelevant or initial trial to test the waters.
It should be obvious by now that Hillary is severely damaged. The risk associated with her grows almost daily. The information about the FBI looking at McAuliffe, a Clintonista, is another crack in the dam. Blumenthal is up for grabs that now that the feds have signed the deal with Guccifer. The Potesdas are also vulnerable.
There’s no upside for Hillary from here on out. She may win a few more primarys, but if she can’t protect Wasserman, more sharks will be sizing her up. She’s done. It’s only a matter of time.
