"SNIP....

Former Vice President Joe Biden reached out to at least a half-dozen supporters Tuesday to tell them he intends to run for president and to ask for their help in lining up contributions from major donors so he can quickly raise several million dollars,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Biden has expressed concern to these people that he wouldn’t be able to raise millions of dollars in online donations immediately the way some other Democratic candidates have.”

Democrats have become increasingly wary of big money donors. If Biden is shown to be heavily reliant on those type of donations, that can turn into a negative if proven.

I knew he was running from his early slip...

Still, I'm in anguish....

I love me some Biden, but I also like a couple other candidates. I love some of the ideas percolating up and actually more jazzed by these than by any individual.
