Joe Biden is a nice guy, virtually everyone will vouch for that! He's prone to "gaffes"! He's also 72-years of age and has already been Vice President for close to 8 years. He's already missed the 1st Democratic Presidential Contenders Debate, held last night in Las Vegas! More importantly, however, in this year of "outsiders" outdoing "insiders", Joe Biden, even more than Hillary Clinton, is an out-and-out insider! He's also tied to Barack Obama & all of his policy choices since 2008 by virtue of being Obama's vice presidential pick. There's far more to lose by running for Biden than any small hope of actually claiming the Democratic nomination. The clock has been ticking for quite some time now. Barack Obama started his run for the Presidency in February, 2007. Here it is heading into November, 2015 and Biden has still not made any formal pronouncements on this matter. Joe, history is on the side of Hillary.It IS time for a woman president and while Hillary is not blemish-free and has her "baggage" she is an extremely accomplished and gifted woman in her own right. History wins, Joe. Sorry. Life often is not fair but that's life. Sorry, Joe, but you'd be best served by making a classy announcement this coming weekend making it perfectly clear that while you gave it serious thought you have come to the conclusion that the country already has two fine, upstanding candidates from which to select from, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Do the right thing, Joe. History will be more than kind to you. You can go out a real winner and your legacy will be sterling forever! After all, Joe, you're not really running because you want to - it's more like you're running because you have to & that's no good, Joe. That's not reason enough & you know it!
