1. Please be specific. What has Biden done in his legislative career that would

make you think he would be a winning candidate in the primary and the general.

[MannyGoldstein]

3. The No-Banker-Left-Behind bankruptcy "reform" bill?

The Iraq War?

[Luminous Animal]

6. Vote for Joe and Go Broke!

[Fumesucker]

8. The RAVE Act?

The Drug Czar?

Ensuring Clarence Thomas was appointed to the SCOTUS?

4. No thanks, I'm happy in my private life.

Thanks for asking, Drunken Irishman.

5. based on his emotional state during the colbert interview

and what he said, it doesn.t seem that he is ready. it may be that the timeline just doesn't work for him. i hope he does what his heart tells him, whatever that is.

[merrily]

7. Yet, he didn't say he was not running. What is it with politicians, anyway?

The only reason I know of to be coy about running for POTUS are FEC fundraising rules, and they are irrelevant if you are not running.

11. i think he is under a lot of pressure

and being someone who is a genuinely nice guy imo,he probably doesn't want to say no out right because of loyalty to his party and his country. Man, I wish he would just say I'm grieving this isn't my time good luck to all the candidates.

[merrily]

12. Exactly. No one human would fault him.

[wyldwolf]

9. I agree.

I'd rather have him as a fall back than Sanders.

10. if he runs

he should run as a candidate in his own right because he wants to and because he feels he has the support to go forward, not as anyone's fallback. I know that many people who are saying this don't mean anything negative by it, but Bidens career is long and he has served his country with great passion, although he certainly isn't my cup of tea policy wise. But he deserves to be taken seriously as a candidate in his own right and not as a fallback for the inevitable one. And if Hillary should falter which she will, there are plenty of other good candidates in the race already, they just don't satisfy the Dncs bloodlust for corporate loyalty.

13. There will ge gnashing of teeth and tearing of clothes if he does DI

you can see it already.. the fear of Joe.. I don't understand it myself

Plenty of room at our debates for more participants..
