Something to chew on .. VP Biden entering the race

Does not bother me one iota.. one bit.. If he has the energy to go for it after the spring and summer of the loss of Beau.. Well he should...

It does nothing but make us better by his presence in the campaign.

If he can't.. everyone will understand..

What a hellacious year it has been for him..

His heart doesn't seem to be into it. Understandably.

I did catch his speech to the steelworkers today.. and he sounded his old fiery self.. but when he addressed the people in FLA.. he sounded so incredibly sad..

I rather hope he sits it out.

I fear a Machiavellian strategy afoot with him a willing pawn:

Distract attention and votes from the real progressive and then, somehow, HRC moves to suck up his support by making him her running mate.

Would she doe that? Yes, she would do anything to become president.

Would he do that? God, I really hope not.

unless E. Warren did think about jumping in to be his VP.. then it hurts Bernie also.. my guy Martin is having a hell of a time getting any traction because of the noise of the top 2..

He rolled 18 on charisma. One cannot help but like him.

But I think he is going to stand on the sidelines.
