Just saw a Bloomberg ad. I was surprised at how strong it was. [View all]

I thought his entry was something of a joke really,

Never have a chance.

His ad was very impressive.

Now I am not so sure what impact he will have. I suspect he will draw from Biden. His 3 term credentials is going to carry weight.

What do others think?

You can see the ad here:

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