it's this, I suspect:

I don't think so. He tried to run for pres. once before and his motor mouth got him in trouble. I'd prefer Webb frankly, but ol' Bernie's on a roll. He's in the Northwest this weekend and they had to move his venue from the Memorial Coliseum, which turned out to be too small for the expected crowds, to the Moda Center, which holds over 19,000 people.

Biden/Warren would be a VERY tough ticket with two seasoned campaigners. Remember, TC, no one KNEW Biden all that well, and the media was allowed to paint him as they wished in prior runs(he's run 3 times). By now, his real danger as a candidate is that the public knows him, very much likes him(favorability is very high, negatives low), and he might have gotten himself into the status he has here in Delaware. Recently, when his son died, nearly the entire state showed up to wish him well, Republicans, Democrats, rich, poor, you name it. And damned if the man didn't stand on his feet for 8 hours straight, two days in a row, to shake every hand. He is beloved here, all the more so for the adversity he has worked through. Do not underestimate him.

by the way, Bernie is sticking to the playbook that got Obama the nomination: lots of small donors. Hillary's people are tapped out,as most have kicked in the whole $2700 already. Bernies supporters average less than $200, and can give more. Also, the lesson from the juggernaut Obama formed was that when you have a million small donors, you get a million folks with skin in the game willing to preach to friends, family, co-workers. Hence, the big crowds.

I still remember where Biden got his clock cleaned in a debate with Sarah Palin. So is the Dems stable of candy colored unicorns so deficit that Biden now looks like a 800 pound gorilla?

then you must have strong hallucinogens, because the national consensus by about 8 to 1 was that he won, handily. Most who know him saw him using kid gloves so as not to be seen beating her up. She looked and sounded like a rank amateur playing a professional sport. He mopped the floor with Ryan, too, although Paul Ryan brought 10 times the gravitas to the table as Moose-girl.

Not quite. Biden was considered the winner, but Palin at least made a good showing.

aside: very prescient words as to Sarah's future, from a vantage point of 2008.

Shows us one thing. She can memorize talking points and spout them ad infinitum with clarity, whether she understands them or not. I guess that counts for something.

Yea, I'm pretty much thinking Hillary is her own worse enemy.

well, there IS that.

Amazing how much attention Palin is getting here and she's not even relevant to the election. You guys look for Gremlins under your bed just before going to sleep also?

um, you brought her name into the thread.......

Touch a nerve?

more like a funny bone, but your observation speaks volumes to how some in the US 'conservative' wing have completely lost touch with reality.

Trump/Palin. Wouldn't that be a combo? Two mouths not connected to their brains that either like to run off the rails or insult everyone they meet.
