Joe Biden’s aides have begun calling Democratic donors and supporters to suggests he is about to enter the 2016 race. They are talking about the timing of an announcement, reported the Wall Street Journal. Biden plans on making the announcement in time to be part of the October 13 Democratic debates, and to immediately begin the fundraising process.

Biden has been hesitant to join the race because of the emotional toll it takes, and he is still coping with the recent death of his son Beau. However, with Hillary Clinton’s polling numbers dropping like a sinking ship, he feels he has a significant opportunity to become President, and this was a dying a wish of Beau.

How Biden’s entry into the race will impact Bernie Sanders is unclear at this point. Bernie has been surging against Hillary over the past three months, and is significantly ahead of her in New Hampshire and Iowa, according to recent polling. However, his entry will certainly lead to much greater media focus on the Democratic race, and likely will force the DNC to hold more debates, all of which would be a very positive thing.

1. I will respect his decision. nt

[artislife]

3. Off topic

Are those your photos? I like black and white and those are compelling.

[pipoman]

6. Ok, lol, which is it? Are Hillary's numbers "dropping like a sinking ship"(?), OR

is she kickin ass n taken names as so many threads are claiming?

[underthematrix]

10. According to MSNBC and CNN, HRC's national poll numbers are going up.

[Robbins]

15. MSNBC is going all over the CNN poll

which underpolled under 50.

They are showing i was totally right In stopping watching all cable news.They are so biased towards Hilary and GOP it's not even funny.MSNBC should just call itself the Clinton & Trump Network.

[underthematrix]

31. I didn't see any polling for Iowa and NH but I don't think those numbers

have changed. If anyone has more current info, please respond.

[RobertEarl]

7. He is getting pushed by the establishment?

The idea that Bernie may easily win is making them itch?

Hey, it's a free country and Biden is welcome. But he's wasting his time. Bernie is going all the way.

[wilsonbooks]

9. This is bad, bad news for Hillary.

Bernie's supporters are not going anywhere else.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Exactly. My money's on

a scandal soon to be announced, that Hillary won't survive. Hence, anybody but Bernie Biden entering the race at this very late date.

[RobertEarl]

12. This is bad news for Hillary.

It means the establishment has serious doubts about Hillary.

The Bern's numbers are growing everyday. So this tells us that the establishment is quite aware of what's hapening.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Hardly a vote of confidence, to be sure.

Watch her supporters try to spin the shit out of the obvious, though.

[RobertEarl]

30. Spin all they want

Biden doesn't really want to run, so he's being asked to by some bigshots.

I doubt he will run, but I bet he loves seeing his name in the press.

You can bet the number crunchers are working overtime looking for some path to a win. Obvious they've not found one yet.

[RBInMaine]

16. Please tell me exactly who "the establishment" is. Name a name. Please.

[restorefreedom]

19. the dnc and the big money donors

goldman sachs, citicorp, if you need more names, the list is readily available.

[restorefreedom]

18. thats what i think

he is a rescue candidate. hillary is tanking, and heaven forbid the establishment get bernie.

doesnt matter..bernie gonna win anyway

[bunnies]

8. Unpossible.

We've been informed by our resident DC insider that he isnt running. Surely youve heard.

[wilsonbooks]

14. LOL I have to admit

that I don't give much credibility to our resident villager. They are so seldom right about anything.

[morningfog]

24. They are so connected, they could never be wrong.

[Le Taz Hot]

13. Splits the Turd Way vote.

Works for me. The DNC must be REALLY worried to let this happen.

[Robbins]

20. biden running means things are looking bad for Clinton

No spin around it.Biden wouldn't run if he thought he didn't have a chance to run.Some of Establishment had to encourage him.

Back In 2006/2007 some who claimed to support hilary encourged Obama.

The Last Thing Establishment wants is Bernie.Biden Is just as much tied to wall street as she Is.Biden can come off as less of a phony as she is.Biden isn't as much as a war monger as she is.Biden actully advised Obama to pull out of afghanstain except for small training forces but those like Hilary who wanted more troops won.

I could maybe hold my noise In GE and vote Biden If Bernie doesn't win nomination which i could never do for her.

Biden gives people not familary with bernie but not wild for Hilary another opotion.Webb Isn't serious about running.Chaffe has
no chance.And O'Malley let Bernie get the progressive and ant-hilary voters by waiting so long.

This will become a Hilary,Bernie,and Biden fight for nomination just like in lead up to 2008 it was a hilary,Obama,and Edwards fight.

[Le Taz Hot]

23. Despite fake polls showing Hillary at 80% approval rating*

the internals have got to be reflecting what actual polls are showing -- that Hillary is tanking and her trajectory is at an irreversibly downward spiral.

Yes, Biden might be more palatable to some but his dirty laundry will come out as well -- his coziness with the credit card companies, his facilitation of the Bankruptcy Bill that made it harder for everyday Americans to declare bankruptcy and, in my opinion, the WORST, was how much help he was to the Republicans in getting Clarence Thomas onto the Bench. I'll scream that one to the highest heavens on every social media site I can get my hands on to remind people of his hand in that debacle.

So, let the Vichy Dems fight it out for the Blind Party Loyalist vote, I'm good with that. Meanwhile, Sanders can continue bringing in the MILLIONS of disaffected voters, including disillusioned Democratic voters out there that, until now, didn't have anybody to vote for save the "I'm not the other guy" candidate.

This is going to be a VERY interesting election year.


*using VERY selective data

[Robbins]

28. biden has plenty grassroots won't like

Bankruptcy Bill is number 1.He also wrote the Clinton Crime Bill of 1990's.Clarence Thomas hearings are also an issue.Biden has to deal with TPP as obama's VP too.

The establishment doesn't want Bernie so now that Hilary has troubles,and yes she does have troubles,they would rather have
Biden In race and in office than Bernie.

[restorefreedom]

22. well, best of health to him

on the trail. i hope he really wants this and is not caving to dnc pressure

can't wait to see how this is "actually good news for hillary"

[OilemFirchen]

25. Ring of Fire Radio reports (but does not cite) a three-day-old WSJ article...

which reports, in two paragraphs, that based on "people familiar with the matter" something vaguely like, but totally dissimilar from the Ring of Fire report, something something.

[oasis]

29. Old news doesn't matter in the "Field of Dreams" of the anti-Hills.

just post it "and they will come".

[shenmue]

33. Yeah

Says a lot about their confidence, doesn't it.

[Old Codger]

26. personally

I thought he was smarter than that, he can go out at the top of his career now or go out a loser like that makes no sense at all

[NanceGreggs]

27. Ooooh!

THE most prolific political author, known to most by the user name "Some People Are Saying", strikes again!

[Historic NY]

32. "We're just not - it's not quite there yet and it may not get there in time ..is what he said

Biden's Ultimate Rorschach Test 1:31

Vice President Joe Biden says that he is still weighing a 2016 presidential bid but that he "may not get there in time" to mount a feasible run.

In an interview with Catholic organization America Media, Biden said that he needs to be "comfortable that this will be good for the family."

"We're just not - it's not quite there yet and it may not get there in time to make it feasible to be able to run and succeed because there are certain windows that will close," he said. "But if that's it, that's it. But it's not like I could rush it."

The vice president acknowledged that his continued mulling of a bid may be confusing to those seeking a definitive answer on his intentions.
