Must see television.

I rarely watch late night network talk shows, but I may have to start recording Colbert's show.

Stephen Colbert showed extraordinary respect and empathy. I cried throughout the whole interview.

and had a slight change of heart. I like the man so much, but he needs more time. I've been thru a little of what he's gone through, and it takes one whole year to go thru every holiday without a loved one who's died.

Just in a very short time, he will have Thanksgiving and Christmas, soon after, Easter, and lots of personal memory days scattered, birthdays, sentimental days, etc..

It might be asking too much to have him skip these tender memory days, but I'd love to have him if he could manage it.

He's dear to the audience that was at Colbert's program. Interesting that Stephen had such a sad life too. It's good to know this.

I watched him with his young grandchildren who just lost their father and I wonder if he doesn't feel the need to be there for them now. I can't put myself in his shoes, but I'm pretty sure he'll make the right decision. I'd back him no matter what he does.

I've always like Stephen Colbert, but now I absolutely adore him! Anyone who is that good to our Joe is a Bidenite!

6. Joe and his 100% - not necessary

Joe at 50% of his ability would be better than any other candidate, except maybe Bernie whom I also love.

Warren has to make some endorsement...this is hard for everyone involved.

I'm sure his buddy Obama and John Kerry will pitch in when needed, and Jill for love.

I think he ought to go for it. It's nice to have a president that you love, as we do now.

I think Jane and Jill would make far better First Ladies than Bill. The thought of it, yuk.

I loved him before it was fashionable, but I think Joe has the domestic and foreign relations experience and skills necessary to be president. I don't think there is anyone more qualified right now. I think he is more likely to get things done. While I agree with almost everything Bernie says, I'm not sure he has the diplomatic or political skills to turn those ideas into reality. Of course, I would support Sanders if he was the candidate. His campaign has been unbelievable!
