It was doing a discussion of possible Biden run. I saw an article or two that said Joe was meeting with donors. Fine also said that Monday on Hardball they had probably gone too far in speculating that Joe would run. He admitted he got calls from friends the next day stepping back on lots of speculation---including the donor meet-up.


Also--they discussed this --The DNC conference call (which I know had several threads out there in gd-p. Turns out the primary reason for conferenc call was for Joe to convince members to support the Iran deal

Ok--a few mysteries solved --Now why did Joe B. met with Eliz Warren?????--another story that got multiple threads out there.

Washington (CNN)Vice President Joe Biden revealed to members of the Democratic National Committee Wednesday that he is assessing whether he has "the emotional fuel" to run for the White House.

"We're dealing at home with ... whether or not there is the emotional fuel at this time to run," Biden told DNC members on a conference call that was billed as an opportunity to hear from the vice president on the Iran nuclear deal. "If I were to announce to run, I have to be able to commit to all of you that I would be able to give it my whole heart and my whole soul, and right now, both are pretty well banged up."

The call was intended to be closed to the media and for members of the Democratic Party only. But CNN obtained access to the conversation.

The vice president spoke for more than an hour on the nuclear agreement. But as soon as he opened the call to questions, he was asked by one DNC member about his future political plans................
