good working relationship with Biden, has for years. Her relationship with Joe is much like the one Joe shares with Pres. Obama and I think that's what he'd be most comfortable with.

Aside from all her professional qualifications, that is important too. It takes a special kind of person, as we saw with Amb. Marie Yovanovitch, to be a top level Ambassador as Susan Rice was as well as NS Advisor.

Her demeanor is calm and professional, well reasoned and reasonable.

I hope he chooses her.
