_______

If he does decide, I'm sure he is going to wait awhile to announce. No one is going to smoke him out sooner than he wants to in announcing his plans.

1. Polling pretty good, even though he's not even technically in the race

'“The not so good news is that (Hillary Clinton) is locked in too close to call races with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. And Vice President Joseph Biden runs just as well as her against the top Republicans,” Malloy added.

I love the fact that it was Biden who ended up nudging Obama into supporting same-sex marriage.

Ahead of the curve.

2. The Democratic Party establishment now see Biden's candidacy as essential.

I will not say the reason for this but I think you already know if you are objective.

3. I think the term 'damaged goods' comes to mind

Just too many unopened boxes heading down the conveyor.... not many have gifts in them

(am I close?)

4. I think you nailed it.

6. Love it!

Kudos for creatively expressing the obvious yet not stepping too hard on already bruised toes..

5. Before dying, his son encouraged him to run again

according to a NPR report

That would be a tough request for Joe to ignore.

7. Why do I get the sense that there are some who don't want to see a woman

Become President

8. I'm sure there are some who don't want to see a female president.

But I think that the vast majority of Democrats who don't want Hillary don't fall into that camp. Being against the idea of a female president tends to run contrary to the ideals of people who identify as Democrat. And certainly it's been clear that Elizabeth Warren had tons of support from people who were not enamored of HRC.

9. He can't wait too long...

If there is indeed going to be a debate in the next couple of months, I don't think he'd want to miss it.
