Joe Biden believes he is the 'most qualified person in the country to be president'

[DFW]

68. Hillary and Biden may be the most qualified, but are not the most likely to be nominated

(Much less elected)

And that's what counts. Howard Dean was right: we need our next presidential candidate to be a fifty-ish, bright, idealistic and very smart INSPIRING individual. A tireless, kind, witty, knowledgeable (economics, ecology AND foreign policy), aware, empathetic, and FRESH face, with as little baggage as possible, and as much power to excite as possible. Not an already-rock star who has been around the block too many times, but rather someone the media will willingly make into a new rock star because they can't help themselves (wup, wup Obama style).

This COULD be Beto, or Joe Kennedy III, or someone who isn't even on our radar yet, but with the guts, stamina and drive to say, hell I CAN DO this, I want to do this, and I WILL do this, because MY country (as opposed to Putin's or Adelson's) is worth it. And then after the election, have both Hillary AND Joe Biden over to the White House often for war stories and advice. A leader who says, "I can do this, but with input from people like these two, I can do this even better."

Actually, I want a 50 year old Howard Dean. Too bad he just turned 70. Judy would chain his private parts to the bathroom door if he even hinted at any interest in running for anything again.
