I think you all know what I'm talking about.

I love Joe, but sometimes he gives off a vibe that he's always checking out the ladies around him. I'll just say it: like there might possible be another Monica Lewinski kind of embarrassment, if Biden were to be elected President.

Could this be an issue, in the primaries? And if he makes it to the GE?

He's an awful candidate, a terrible gaffe machine.  In 2008 he got less than 1% of the vote in the Iowa caucus.  He's not a likable person and people are deluding themselves about him potentially being a front-runner.

No one said he is the perfect candidate, but people who have buyer's remorse over Obama have second thoughts about Hilary. Hilary has been damaged by the email controversy, but Dems do deserve an alternative.

In the primaries, absolutely.  I'm not sure about the general election, I suppose the Republican could use it to try to outflank Biden on women's issues, but I don't think it would work out well for them.

It would probably backfire spectacularly.

Can someone find the quote from one of the girls who said she didn't find it creepy and that it's actually more annoying that people are "speaking for her" and acting like she should find it creepy just because they do?

Maybe if the GOP nominated Fiorina.

On something as personal as this, one person shouldn't be speaking for all of them.

Have you seen the video of him with Sen. Chris Coon's daughter? It's way beyond creepy.

No, because Joe Biden is not actually The Onion Joe Biden, despite peoples' beliefs otherwise.

Donald Trump is going to be his opponent. It's not an issue.

I think it would be subtext more than text. It would be mentioned a bit, but more in the contextof how Biden's a weirdo. The difference would be if someone came forward and accused him of sexual harrassment, but that seems like it would have happened by now.

Nah, Biden is literally the candidate in either party least likely to cheat on their spouse, including Huckabee who fits the Ashley Madison user profile. Whatever other issue Biden might have, he's a solid family man.

I think I just found the reason why Biden's not running. This video among others wold be exploited by GOP candidates or Dm primary challengers. Candidates like Trump may not win the feminist vote, but he or a more likely GOP candidate could use videos like this to decrease voter confidence in the democratic party, reducing the gap if not eliminating it.

Besides, Biden wouldn't want his character to be tarnished in old age by exposing himself to attacks from rivals. That's why I think he's unlikely to run.
