I'm rethinking Biden. Now I'm not so sure he ISN'T going to consider a run...

[CTyankee]

and not just that Beau wanted him to. I think the polls have surprised him a bit and been encouraging. He might be thinking "what better way to honor Beau than to serve your country in a deeply thoughtful and caring way."

It's just a "sense" that has come over me in the last few days. Perhaps he sees his tragic loss as an opportunity in service to your principles and patriotism. And I think he is a deeply patriotic man...

Anyone else starting to feel this way?

[MBS]

1. yup, me too. n/t

[CTyankee]

2. My guess is that he is putting this to prayer...

I still start to tear up when I think of him and that moving service for Beau...

[MBS]

3. Yeah, I think you're right.

I watched that entire service, including the wake the night before, when he greeted every mourner, individually, and talked with each of them, individually. . not to mention the service itself. . the feelings ran so deep, so genuine. just thinking about this, starting to tear up all over again

4. what polls?

Not Georgia and Florida...

[CTyankee]

5. They were talking about polls on Morning Joe today and Biden is in a strong third position

and he's not even announced whether or not he is running. I think that is a vote of confidence in the guy.

I'm supporting Bernie myself but I could see Biden as a candidate.

This is a really interesting contest to say the least...

8. Polls that show Hillary's steady decline.

You know.... all the polls.

15. Oh that thing again...

I counter with her ODDS of winning...which are 74% primary and 57% General

12. The one's showing the HIllary decline and that she is not trusted by the voters.

6. I think he will be brought in if Hillary tanks.

He's just being dangled out there now as a bit of bait to test the waters. And/or goose Hillary a bit.

7. Ohh he's runnin alright. Hillary's incompetent campaign has opened the door for Biden...just hope his presence in the race doesn't hurt Bernie's chances.

9. There's an opening between Hillary and Bernie that he could try and fill.

I doubt that he could peel off any Bernie votes but he would look good to other establishment voters as "not as bad" as Hillary.

[CTyankee]

11. he might move left himself. He may be taking another look at what Bernie is saying and what he's

hearing from people in his party, and indeed the country. Also, I think he might get votes from some republicans, if their party goes batshit crazier in the coming months...

[MBS]

13. notable that he praised Bernie yesterday

and (reportedly) didn't mention Hillary at all.

[Puzzledtraveller]

10. I always believed he would, and got flack when I say it here.

Of course there has been no concrete indication but my gut say's yes. We will see if my gut is worth anything.

14. Hillary's stumbles are an opening for Joe. He occupies the same "centrist" position as she. nt
