That is real movement to say the least. Wow.

If Biden doesn't get it, 90% of his supporters will go to Clinton so she would be at ~59-60%.

Not quite. They actually polled the race without Biden. Clinton goes up to 56% (+9) and Sanders goes up to 33% (+4). The also-rans are unchanged.

That said, I'm sure the Sanders camp is hoping that Biden jumps in.

Part of me just wants him to decide already, the anxiety is overwhelming lol.

She's really losing control of the situation. All the while, she continues to minimize her interaction with the media (though less so than in previous months; she's wading in bit by bit but Bernie is now absorbing all of the media attention while she dicks around; as if that's going to prevent the media from talking about her) and seems to come across as overly defensive when she does respond to questions.

I'm pretty sure I've made the comparison before now, but this is really playing out just like the Michelle Nunn primary and general campaign: duck the media as often as possible, hold carefully staged/crafted campaign events where the narrative can be controlled, straddle the fence on issues relative to national opinion and avoid answering anything inherently controversial to the swing electorate...and inevitably alienate swing voters slightly right-of-center and left-wingers for appearing to be an untrustworthy cardboard cut-out of a cardboard cut-out.

Another couple of months of this and we really are going to have a 2008-redux. JFC, she is a terrible candidate.

At this rate, it shouldn't take long...

I support Hillary but think Biden should join. Will give her a break from incessant question about her emails, plus lessen the appearance of a coronation.
