Biden Friends Worry Run Could Harm His Legacy

[DonViejo]

New York Times: “Those supporters, in the White House and the Senate, and within the political circles he has moved in for decades, fear that the legacy Mr. Biden has built as an effective partner who took on tough jobs for President Obama, not to mention the deep reservoir of public good will and sympathy he has amassed in his poignant handling of personal tragedies, could be sacrificed in the pursuit of an unsuccessful challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination.”

“They fret that Mr. Biden, as well known for his undisciplined, sometimes self-immolating comments as he is for his charm on the trail, could endanger Mr. Obama’s own legacy by injuring Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy and causing his party to lose control of the White House.”

2. Which friends?

Most of the people actually named in this article don't seem to be "worried". Apart from Axelrod, none of the ones who are "worried" are named. Is Axelrod a friend of Biden?

4. His legacy is shit anyway....

His drug warrior stance and attaching the RAVE Act to the Amber Alert bill is his legacy to me. FUCK HIM.

5. This is silly. Friends, don't worry about Joe. He's a grown man able to

take care of himself.

6. I like Joe Biden and I would prefer he not run.

He may have wanted to be President at one point but I don't think he has the passion for it anymore. If I am wrong and he makes a strong run I would give him a good look though.
