On one hand, he wants to use his long history to show that cooperation is possible... OTOH, he needs to distance himself from many of the policies he espoused in that era, which presumably include some of the very policies he was actually able to get cooperation on. I mean, can he really run on how he got cooperation on the crime bill?

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