If Biden does decide to run, the benefits of landing Wolf would be many, some obvious and some subtle—but all perfectly clear to each party. First, having raised north of $500,000 for Obama in both 2008 and 2012, he could be a source of a great deal of campaign cash. Second, he could help Biden establish ties to Wall Street, where the V.P. has few. Third, he could be a valuable adviser on economic matters, where the priorities of the two are in sync. Fourth, Wolf's defection from the Clinton camp would be a major symbolic blow to her already reeling campaign. And fifth, given Wolf's closeness to Obama, the move would carry with it the widespread (and likely accurate) assumption that the president had blessed it.

Keeps on getting more and more interesting. I have already made private predictions about what is going to happen. We'll see how that turns out. Needless to say I think this story is just beginning to unfold.

1. "he could help Biden establish ties to Wall Street," - good to know. n/t

2. I know, a mixed bag

Implies he doesn't have those ties, which is good, but that he would create them, which is not good.

Frustrating how the system is set up, and hopeful that American voters move beyond it and pick a candidate who does not have ties to Wall Street.
