November-December 2003. But his campaign collapsed just prior to Iowa and it was over. I’m still not convinced that we were better off with Kerry. He avoided getting blown out, so I guess that’s something.

It's fair to say anything...after all, we have that 1st Amendment thing going. Wounded Bear Dec 2018 #1

I agree that it doesn't really matter Renew Deal Dec 2018 #4

Biden would have cremated the Dotard had he run. InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2018 #5

That's easy to say about anyone who didn't actually run EffieBlack Dec 2018 #23

Yes, LOTS of things are easy to say... guess we'll never know for sure. InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2018 #27

He'd run in primaries before radical noodle Dec 2018 #46

Considering name recognition I think that is a fair assessment. WeekiWater Dec 2018 #6

I agree with almost all of that Renew Deal Dec 2018 #7

That is the risk, right? angrychair Dec 2018 #14

What's the story behind this pic? cwydro Dec 2018 #19

Biden giving Stephanie Carter a shoulder rub while her husband, Ashton, makes some remarks as WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2018 #20

Looks like more than a shoulder rub, somehow. cwydro Dec 2018 #24

Whatever it is, it's clearly making her uncomfortable. WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2018 #26

Lol, I picked up on that too. cwydro Dec 2018 #30

It's fair to say it. At this point in time I doubt it's accurate. Autumn Dec 2018 #22

If it weren't for his age, I'd say he would be the definite favorite to win the nomination Midwestern Democrat Dec 2018 #25

Howard Dean as well. LakeArenal Dec 2018 #49

The sad thing about Dean is he was hounded out of the race due to his bizarre victory howl. dameatball Dec 2018 #53

Dean was going downhill prior to that incident Renew Deal Dec 2018 #64

Probably so. My point had more to do with what was considered normal then and what we have arrived dameatball Dec 2018 #72
