Maybe a sign, maybe not a sign? Jill Biden plans a full teaching load for the fall

[riversedge]

i do not think it is a sign that Joe might throw his hat in. Might be if she has a full load next Spring semester though. IMHO

Maybe a sign, maybe not a sign? Jill Biden plans a full teaching load for the fall http://bloom.bg/1HZuK6A

1. If she is carrying a full load, then it is doubtful Joe will run.

I have no problem with Joe getting into the race. He is my #2 guy but I half way think he will go on to other great things. Joe is really big on women's issues and women's rights so he might do something with that, along with Jill. What ever he does will be great and wonderful.

2. I don't think he ever intended to run. I think that was a bit of chain jerking...

Putting the media through their paces, giving them a meaty bone to chew on.

Of course, maybe I'm off the mark totally---he still could jump in and she could join him in January. But I think if he does, it's a mistake. No one wanted him as POTUS the last two times he ran--and his baggage isn't as well vetted. The GOP would have a field day with Hunter's cocaine problem leading to him getting booted out of the USN. who wants that scrutiny? Plus, the health issues, and his recent grief...it's just a bad move.

I think it's great that she teaches at a community college (I know right where that place is, too). Her students are getting a good education:

Jill Biden is teaching five English classes at Northern Virginia Community College’s Alexandria campus in the semester that begins next week, said NOVA spokeswoman Kathy Thompson. She will teach three English I classes and two classes of developmental English.

9. The cynic inside me...

says they floated the rumor so that when he went to tell Warren to "ixnay on the PP Tay" the media would be running with the idea of a Biden/Warren ticket. Maybe I just need a beer

10. With the way rumors are flying around this joint, I'm surprised no one is floating the hot story

that they met to try and hush up the fact that they had an affair after meeting on Ashley Madison, and they want to coordinate their statements that those email addresses were theirs, but they were spoofed by some disgruntled aides to GOP legislators~!

11. You are

better than I at this.

[riversedge]

13. oh, I am sure that is out there on some RW site. I am not looking.

3. Maybe amassing a war chest

in case they have to dip into their personal fortunes.

[msrizzo]

4. Do they even have a "personal fortune?"

The average salary for a full-time professor at a public community college or two-year technical school is $72,000, according to a 2010-11 study published in 2012 in the National Education Association Almanac of Higher Education. This study also found a lower average salary for the same position at independent and private institutions, where the average yearly salary for professors is $54,000.

6. sorry, being ironic

No, the Bidens have not focused on amassing a personal fortune, and of course her deciding to teach a full load at the community college is not a way to build such a fortune.

[Thinkingabout]

5. He would be a great second choice for me. I think some are still hoping

Hillary would drop out and give "others" a chance or give the GOP candidates a chance. Thinking this is going to help others will not happen, we have other possible candidates which will be brought in, vanish the thought "others" is gone Ng to get a clear shot.

7. Those are intense, heavy grading,

heavy one-on-one courses. If normal load in Virginia is what it is in Texas, that's 100 students. Definitely not a sign that her husband is about to take on a major new commitment requiring her time and emotional support.

[ellisonz]

8. I don't think she would campaign if he were going to run, which he's not.

I just don't see how Biden concludes his candidacy would be in the interest of the party. Biden is as loyal as he is determined.

[Gothmog]

12. Biden will only get into the race if HRC's campaign somehow implodes

I doubt that Biden wants to get into a full fight with the Clintons unless it is clear that the Clinton campaign has imploded

[Dawson Leery]

14. Biden may be meeting with Warren among

others on how to proceed with a potential GOP government shutdown over their opposition to Planned Parenthood funding.
We do not have 34 votes to sustain a veto on the Iran deal at this time. He may be working on this too.
