Unless he has a tip that Hillary is going to jail, he needs to stay out. There's no way his heart can be in it, and even if he does beat her, he's a weaker general election candidate without being significantly different politically. He's a high-risk, no-reward candidate compared to Hil.

Biden
-Isn't tainted by scandal or thought of as corrupt by a majority of Americans
-Has been a popular Vice President, whereas Hillary was a so-so SOS and proved incompetent at her job
-Isn't tied to a political dynasty, which Americans right now are tired of
-Is genuine, blunt, not too politically correct, and can speak off the cuff - which is what American seem to want.
-Has genuine charisma where Hillary does not.

Hillary is divisive even among Democrats. A good chunk of liberal Democrats hate her, and the GOP DESPISES her. With Bernie already helping to deepen the divide in the Democratic party, you'll have low Dem turnout if Hillary is the nominee (because the base won't want her), while you'll have high GOP turnout because Republicans hate her that much. Hillary is sort of our Mitt Romney.

Our Vice President doesn't have these problems. I believe he can not only hold together the "Obama coalition", but also might pick up a few white, blue collar voters too.

You're a strange person, you say you're a Democrat?

Couple of rumblings today...

NYMag Clinton Readies Oppo Research on Biden

This leak shows they are taking the chance of him running seriously and it is a shot across the bow to Biden to let him know they aren't going to play nice.

Politico Biden himself leaked word of his son's dying wish

For the record Team Biden is denying the Politico story.

The Clintons play extremely dirty. There are so many lying hit pieces on Sanders right now in the "media".

Of course... it's always the Clintons. Jesus. Not that someone ever had uneven positions or someone else leaked.

It wouldn't surprise me if people are now trying to smoke him out.

My theory is that the other campaigns are trying to smoke Joe out...
