Quote:The concept of "giving something/someone your blessing" is hardly new, and it's not like it's only applied to Obama. Weaksauce on your part. The MSM is far, far, far from mainstream. It almost feels like you're twisting and carefully choosing your words to spin an agenda.

 

Biden's involvement can only be a good thing for the Democratic Party, imo. Hillary's campaign is a train wreck in slow motion, Sanders is far enough left that the MSM might actually seem to be just left of center to him, and the guy who's mainstream and makes sense (O'Malley) might as well have his face on the side of a milk carton, because he's completely gone missing. Biden would give them a viable alternative to Hillary and Sanders, and a respected political figure who has a reputation for reaching across the aisle and getting things done.

 

This is the JIB No Spin Zone my friend.   :thumbsup:   I do try to choose my words carefully most of the time, though there are times when my choices are certainly wrong according to the COC.

 

Quote:If nothing else, Biden has the potential for providing us with comedy gold.

 

Something that you and I certainly agree on.  I do have a lot of respect for Joe Biden, even though I would never vote for him.

 

Quote:Biden and Hillary split up the blue dog and "Washington Insider" votes.  Bernie winds up with the nomination.  Run Joe Run!!!!

 

I disagree.  Once Biden announces his candidacy I believe that Hillary's chances tank (even more so than right now).  What is certainly interesting is the fact that Biden met with Elizabeth Warren recently.  A ticket on the democrat side with both of them would draw not only from the democrat establishment base, but also from the far left taking any support that Bernie Sanders might have now.

 

The question then becomes, can they win the ultimate prize?
