A link to the Washington Post<\/a> sent to us by Chief Tango speculates about whether or not Joe Biden will be the 2016 candidate for President for the Democrats. <\/p>\n

People close to Biden laid out several considerations on his mind, starting with fundamental political concerns: Would the country effectively turn backward by picking a baby-boomer white man to succeed a youthful black president? Will the Obama administration three years from now be considered a success, particularly on the economy?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First of all, Biden isn’t a “baby boomer” – he’s four years too old to fit the post-WWII chronological profile. Secondly – YES! I’m here to tell you that I will vote for Biden as many times as they need me to vote for him. He’ll be the first Democrat I’ve voted for President since Jimmy Carter. I’ll leap across the aisle to vote for Joe Bite Me…er…Biden. <\/p>\n

Biden clearly has the experience and gravitas to ascend to the presidency, but many Democrats say he may have been in Washington too long (since 1973) to win an election. He is President Obama\u2019s governing partner yet is rarely seen as Obama\u2019s heir apparent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not true! Joe is the only one who can attract Republicans to the Democrat Party at this juncture. He’d be the most experienced candidate in the race…if you don’t believe me, just ask him. Just because he’s been wrong on every single policy issue since he went to Congress shouldn’t count against him, it certainly won’t keep me from pulling the lever for the smartest man in America.<\/p>\n

Biden, a spry 70, keeps a travel schedule that would exhaust most men half his age. But he will be 73 when the next election rolls around, and those close to him said he knows his age would be an issue. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not at all. So what if he’ll be ten years older than Dick Cheney was when the media told us that Cheney was too old to be Vice-President. Joe can handle it.<\/p>\n

In fact, if Biden doesn’t run in the next presidential election, I’ll stay away from the polls altogether. Clearly this is a hit-piece on the part of the Post and they’re scared that Biden will be the best President ever and overshadow Obama and Bill Clinton in the history books – I say Run, Joe, Run!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
