VEEP IN NO HURRY TO JUMP INTO PRESIDENTIAL RACE …
|| By FITSNEWS || Joe Biden has yet to announce his presidential plans, but the vice president would enter the race as the most popular Democratic candidate.
A new NBC News poll (.pdf here) shows 40 percent of Americans as having a positive impression of Biden – compared to 28 percent who view him negatively. That +12 spread is better than the +10 number put up by independent socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, and well above the -8 spread of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Clinton still leads the Democratic field according to the poll – drawing 42 percent to Sanders 35 percent (and Biden’s 17 percent), but she’s clearly no longer the “presumed nominee.” Real Clear Politics latest mash-up of multiple national surveys has Biden polling slightly higher – at 20 percent – and Clinton at 40.8 percent.
As recently as May, though, Clinton was polling at 64.2 percent with Biden in single digits.
Of course Biden’s formal entry into the race means he’d face a much harsher glare than he’s currently experiencing as a prospective candidate.
“Most of the media coverage of the vice president’s potential run has centered around his decision-making about a campaign and the outpouring of sympathy for his family after the tragic death of his son, Beau,” an NBC News report accompanying the network’s latest polling pointed out. “None of his potential rivals have aggressively attacked his record, including past gaffes and previously held policy positions that might now be anathema to the Democratic Party’s progressives
So … will Biden jump in?
“We’re gonna be waiting a bit longer,” a source close to the vice president’s Palmetto State organization told FITS. “I think he can afford to wait.”
Wait to … announce?
“Just because it’s not official doesn’t mean (he’s) not going,” the source told us.
Interesting …

If he waits for Hillary’s polling to bottom out to join he’ll deck her in the polls that much harder. As long as she’s hurting more he should hold back, wait until they reach their lowest point, and swing for the fences.
Good News: Hillary’s toast
Bad News: Joe’s got to run on Obama’s 8-year record of failure, too.
It will be funny watching this ignorant son-of-a-bitch meet the same fate as the Dumbass he’s following.
Joe’s too stupid, and too thin skinned to take being knocked out, gracefully. Wonder if he’ll use racial slurs when he figures out what Obama did to the Democrat Party. I think he will. Get the popcorn…This will be a show…
Meet the same fate as the dumbass he’s following?
Back to back overwhelming election victories, improved the economy and the country’s standing in the world, more freedoms and equality for all, etc?
Not bad at all. I’d consider voting for him.
Might be the female Secret Service agents are saying he swims naked in front of them and Hillary has a bigger pecker?
Trump’s too stupid, and too thin skinned to take being knocked out gracefully. Wonder if he’ll use racial slurs. Get the popcorn… This HAS been a show.
Fixed that for you.
You were right all along. Not LMOA anymore. I’m a loser. Dang, I need to crap my pants.
Sad Biden is USING the death of his own son to perpetuate his faux grieving. One night he is comedy shows tearing up and then the next day he is spewing racist hate while attacking people of faith.
Even sadder is you mocking the pain of a parent who has lost a child. You are an ass, flip.
He’s doing a better job at being evil than I am.
Did you know the infanticide loving Planned Parenthood Director is the daughter of the evil,lying drunk and lesbian (deceased)politician Ann Richards from Texas? Explains much.
W put her sorry ass in the grave.Apparently her daughter never recovered from her mom’s booze addiction and lost her soul along the way:
But her political career eclipsed what Ms. Richards called “one of the great, great stories” of her life: her recovery from alcoholism….
In so many ways, her decision to stop drinking and enter a rehabilitation program in 1980, after a painful intervention by family and friends, was necessary for her continued rise in public life….
as Raymond explained I am impressed that a student able to profit $28273 in four weeks on the internet ……..Easy onliine w0rrk for all. Make $5000 to $9000 per week onliine.4-5hour daily work………read the full info here …

“Democrat”
I’d stand up and applaud him if I could.
I’m totally scared shitless about this. If Biden enters the race we’re certain to get our asshats handed to us. This is really screwed up my day. I’ve already crapped my pants twice, once at lunch, and the other when I had my metamucil shake about 30 minutes ago. And now I’m so distracted I can’t even keep my mind focused. I want to start a new blog, but I’m afraid the Biden team will find out who I am and where I live. And now with Gowdy backing out – we’re totally screwed. I hate the guy Rocky, and Mamatiger too, because it seems they were right all along. Oh, darn, I need to go. I feel another fecel explosion coming and I”m out of Wranglers. Probably need to send Mama back to WalMart for a new set of 40W / 29L.
LMAO!!! The Teamsters just thru Clinton and the democrats over board and are leaning toward supporting the Republican Party! You can’t make this shit up.
Thank you Mr.Hoffa, Muslim Obama and the entire democrat party!
you know Biden’s other son got caught on the ashley madison list, nothing is off limits to republicans including the personal lives of a candidates family, he may opt to not expose his family to those vicious assholes
