He could have chosen Evan Bayh (rumor is, he almost did.)
Dennis Kucinich
John Edwards (shiver)
Bill Richardson
Chris Dodd
Tom Viksak
Hillary Clinton

... he could have chosen Howard Dean, Ned Lamont, even Kamala Harris.

He coud have chosen any other person with a 'D' next to their name. He could have chosen any "progressive" darling or moderate.

He could have. But he chose Biden.

Never forget that.

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