I am sick of Biden and Hillary being considered as possible 2016 contenders. I think it's absurd to think that they'll even be interested in another run. They're yesterday's news.
I keep seeing this and it makes no sense. If you're the Vice President or the Secretary of State, then you're two of the most powerful people in the country and obviously presidential material. You're not 'yesterday's news' because you happen to be over 60.
I still can't see Hillary refusing when the election is literally being handed to her on a silver platter like this. There's a difference between frontrunner-2008 and leading-by-40-points-2016.
But she's repeatedly said that she has no interest in running again. And Biden, well, his whole current appeal is that he says outrageous things, but doesn't have any power. That doesn't translate well to a lasting 2016 campaign.
And either way, the Democrats don't tend to nominate someone who was a loser in a previous primary season, even if they seem popular later. They tend to elect up-and-comers, and do it a lot more than the Republicans do.
