I think it's way too early. But Elizabeth Warren was who all the Progessives want to run in 2016 but she sat it out and Bernie was the Progressive candidate instead. Bernie and Elizabeth together are close to Biden and if one of them drop out of lose support, it will more likely to go to the other and not Biden. Also, Biden has yet to endure much media scrutiny. And there haven't even been any debates yet, and I've heard Biden refered to as a gaffe machine so the debates might do him in. He's basking in the glow of Obama right now but will it last?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
