weasel -yet he does do sneaky below the table stuff to get a story. I had a feeling this am hat Biden would enter the race. Just a gut feeling because I know how much he really wants it. I am thing he is in. for what it is worth.

Had he jumped in a month or two ago, he would have had momentum and a weak frontrunner to take on. Now, Hillary has locked down her support in the debate and Bernie has stolen the momentum of the alternative.

I know he was dealing with a lot and had every right to wait, but I don't see the point of getting into the race at this late hour with no clear opening.

It would be a brilliant move to already have your VP pick at the get-go, especially her.

I only wish that Biden had committed two or three weeks ago, and that Obama and Bernie weren't handing out Get Out of Jail Free cards.

The big problem for all of this is that while he's a great supporting player, he's a terrible Presidential candidate.

and the four women he would not allow to testify against Clarence Thomas. He promised Anita Hill and those four women that those women would be able to testify.

It is also sketchy how he told Maureen Dowd that his son's "dying wish" was for him to run...

that 3 someones, presumably, in VP Biden's confidence, are leaking this ... and, presumably, expect to remain in his confidence.

But then again ... this may be one of those: "Those who talk do not know and those who know are not talking."

I'd be surprised if Biden got into this primary.
