I'm fine with her decision not to join in.. But I don't think anybody should be ruling out, as a Presidential candidate, ALL the other women of the Senate simply because they signed the letter.

With regard to Biden, are you okay with how Stephanie Carter and the young girls look with Biden look in these photos?

From New York Magazine:

Joe Biden is the vice-president of the United States of America, but he is the president of Awkwardly Whispering in Women’s Ears. This morning, Stephanie Carter, the wife of new Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, became the newest victim of Biden’s war on ears when he whispered sweet nothings with his hands planted firmly on her shoulders. This, it seems, is a favorite tactic of ol’ Uncle Joe. Here are eight other times Biden was caught creepily murmuring in ladies’ ears.
