Clinton email scandal: Why it might be time for Democrats to draft Joe Biden
By Colbert I. King Opinion writer February 5 at 7:06 PM
The Hillary Clinton email issue is developing into a real whodunit, complete with Clintonesque legal semantics. I never sent or received any material marked classified, she said with respect to the discovery of classified information on her private, unclassified email server. That surface denial nearly rivals Bill Clintons classic: I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
But this is no laughing matter.
There is nothing trivial about a secretary of state having top-secret information on an unsecured computer in her home. That appears to have been the case, based on the State Departments announcement last week that 22 emails, across seven email chains, containing top-secret information were on Hillary Clintons private email server.
At issue is whether the information in the emails was classified when it was sent to her unsecured server. It was, after all, the State Department, upon review of the content by intelligence agencies, that upgraded the emails to top-secret and ordered them withheld from the public.

Substance: Black voters' vote MATTERS! That's substance. Biden is associated with Obama.

Many black people have forgiven Biden because his record speaks for itself.

I believe there is mostly a problem with getting on the ballot in many states.

Keep in mind that the phrase "Loony Left" was the product of the DLC, not the Republicans.

Granted but it was embraced by the DLC as a pejorative to it's own Base....
