The beautiful thing about a Joe Biden candidacy is that there would have been no reason not to vote for him, particularly if you are an Independent or even a moderate Republican. A lot of Republicans don't like their choices and in Joe Biden they'd know they were going to get a solid, intelligent, experienced person who wasn't going to lie to them and screw them. He's someone they can respect. This perception does not carry over to Clinton or Obama. And when the Republican henchmen start tearing down the Democratic candidate, that's when the real frustration is going to sink in. And both of these candidates have so much for the Republicans to work with. For Hillary the attacks are already there; they just have to dust them off and start them up again. For Obama, they will have half the country wondering if he's really a Muslim. Why take the chance on voting for a black Muslim. Throw in the fact that he has so little experience, and none in foreign policy, there are legitimate reasons not to take a chance on him as well. Lord, help us.
