Jan 2013

Can't say right now. Either Hillary or Joe or someone else. Gotta see who's running and who looks strong in late 2015 to decide. Until Iowa in 2008 I was still deciding who I wanted to support. Biden wasn't getting any traction. I was worried about several things regarding Hillary. Oddly, most of them wouldn't apply this time, but her age, which wasn't an issue then, is something to think about this time as it woujld be with Biden. John Edwards seemed like the demograpically smartest choice, although where I'd liked him fine for VP in '04 he seemed shrill and grating in '08. Turns out that was the least of his problems. Then Iowa happened and the world turned upside down and the impossible turned out to be very possible. I don't see anything like that happening next time around, but you never know.
