A.B. Stoddard: Who will Obama back?

Clinton’s polling is moving in one direction: the trajectory is bad, and the speed of decline even worse. Sanders is now ahead of the former secretary of State in Iowa and New Hampshire; the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll shows she has lost the support of white women by 29 points in just two months; and the latest New York Times/CBS News poll shows Clinton’s lead nationally has been cut in half since August.

Signs have emerged that Biden is indeed taking steps to enter the presidential race, should he ultimately choose to do so.

Obama anointed Clinton as his would-be successor in a joint interview with her on “60 Minutes” in early 2013 that jolted Bidenworld. After what he did to help Obama in his reelection campaign, Bill Clinton received the first thank-you call the president made on election night. It was clear that Obama had given Hillary Clinton his implicit, if not explicit, support for her second presidential campaign. ABC News reported in April, weeks after her use of a private server at State was revealed, that Obama said, “If she’s her wonderful self, I’m sure she is going to do great.”

Now that Clinton’s campaign isn’t wonderful or great, and the party risks nominating someone weakened and potentially beatable, Obama may have to break a deal and not only back a Biden run but encourage and aid it as well. Until and unless he does, the Clintons will be able to ground a potential Biden campaign.

1. If he is smart he will back whom ever the nominee is

Other wise using history as a guide he would back the corporate democrat.

I cannot remember when he backed any liberal or progressive candidate

2. He will refrain from backing anyone til the nomination is won, then will back the winner.

4. A Hillary SHOCKER is coming!

Soon they will stop polling with Biden included and Hillary's +25 will become a +40.
