Not happy with the democratic field. I Wish Joe Biden would run. [View all]

I really wish we had as many choices as the Republican's do. Just ceding this nomination to Hillary is a bad idea. She has so much baggage. In some ways she reminds me of Al Gore in 2000. Gore had to carry over all of the Clinton baggage, and Hillary has her husband's as well as her own baggage to carry.

Like I said before, I don't think Bernie Sanders is electable. I think he can get nominated but not elected. He comes from a very small state, and there is so much about him for the corporate media to exploit. Just because the guy wins in Vermont does not mean he could win nationwide. I think he plays well in the Northeast and the west coast, but would not fare well in the south at all, and would have a tough time in the middle of the country. The "Socialist" banner will be a deal breaker for millions who probably don't even know what the word means. We need to think with our heads and not our hearts. I am a Socialist and would move to Denmark, or Norway, in a minute if I knew how.

That leads me to Joe Biden. I think he is the Harry Truman, or Hubert Humphrey, of his generation. Even people who totally disagree with Biden and think he's a bit of a windbag, like him personally. I think he has a far greater populist streak than Obama does. Joe has earned the nomination in my mind by being VP for 8 years. All of this talk about politicians being "regular guys," Biden is the closest thing to it. There is nothing fake about Joe. The only thing working against him is his age. Though he appears to be in good shape.

If Joe Biden gets in, he is my candidate. I will support whoever the nominee is. I like Omalley, but don;t think he has much of a chance.
