a lot like Bernie supporters...in it to win it. Biden just mucks things up, but I see him pulling from O'Malley and undecideds.

Trends show Hillary slipping and Bernie gaining.

Bernie has the best shot as he still has not formally introduced himself to the country so has nowhere to go but up. Clinton and Biden are well known names...nothing new here.

I don't think he'll run but even so, coming in if Clinton lags behind that badly? No win proposition.

I think Biden could win. Flying Squirrel Sep 2015 #11

He is not entering the race. Maedhros Sep 2015 #6

You may be right -- gateley Sep 2015 #12

Well of course I don't have any special insight into Biden's thoughts. Maedhros Sep 2015 #14

Nobody is asking you to vote for Biden -- gateley Sep 2015 #18

Wow. Touchy. [n/t] Maedhros Sep 2015 #21

Yeah, I am, and I apologize. gateley Sep 2015 #23

He'd hurt everyone. Garrett78 Sep 2015 #13

It's also integrity vs..Well, let's just say ignoring the elephant in the room won't make it go away Skwmom Sep 2015 #17

As centrist as Obama has been... Garrett78 Sep 2015 #36

No amount of pressure will keep Clinton from delivering on her promises to her big money backers. Skwmom Sep 2015 #40

I'm not counting Bernie out -- but I agree it might be easier for gateley Sep 2015 #45

Like Bernie said it's Joe's decision. Who really knows... n/t Skwmom Sep 2015 #15

I'm interested to see how Bernie fares when he does "introduce himself to the country" gateley Sep 2015 #19

Thus far he's batting 1,000. n/t libdem4life Sep 2015 #20

Hurts them all. elleng Sep 2015 #22

I agree. Puzzledtraveller Sep 2015 #26

I fear you may be right, pal. gateley Sep 2015 #31

I agree. elleng Sep 2015 #30

If you're referring to Bernie, I agree. gateley Sep 2015 #32

On one hand, he might pull those who don't want another Clinton gateley Sep 2015 #34

What would I like to see happen? Biden enters the race, Obama supports him, Hillary tanks tularetom Sep 2015 #33

So either way Bernie nabs the nom? gateley Sep 2015 #35

Was that what I said? Don't think so tularetom Sep 2015 #37

Ah... Thanks for the clarification. gateley Sep 2015 #38

You know what - I've known about Bernie for a long time because of Tom Hartmann tularetom Sep 2015 #41
