6. Hillary would likely win against anyone in the field. Biden, not so much

I really like the guy, everyone LIKES the guy, and I have a lot of respect for him. But I don't think he has what it takes to win. Hillary has an aura of seriousness that Joe lacks. And I think serious is what the country is going to be looking for.

However, a lot is going to depend upon which Obama we get this time around. Will he be playing the rational conservative and slamming through corporate legislation, or is he actually going to stand up for the people who elected him. Time will tell. If he does the former, which is what I expect, Joe can forget it.
