I do hope, however, Joe DOES back down from other past known positions, such as opposing legalization of marijuana, as recently as 2014, and "backs up" the position of most progressive Democratic candidates.

It's really hard to chose a candidate to get behind right now, we have several good ones.

The biggest plus, in my opinion. for Biden is that I can most certainly see him kicking Congressional repub ass. We need a president who not only has progressive ideas but one who can push legislation through Congress, and if McTurtle somehow manages to hold onto his leadership position he needs to be constantly embarrassed for the unpopular positions he stands for.

He would never offer her the VP spot, and if he did, she'd never accept. Those two have been at each other's throats for 20 years, maybe longer. Don't get me wrong, I love Liz Warren. But the two of them would be terrible together.

I'm hoping for Biden & Harris, they'd make a great team.
