A better question would be why would anyone want him to run? He is the same Biden who ran two times before and never even made a blip on the radar in any of the Dem primaries. He is the same Biden who is a verbal gaffe machine whenever he is presented a microphone. He is the same Biden who said there was no need for Net Neutrality. He is the same Biden who actually wrote the shytty "tough on crime" bills that Bill Clinton signed into law. He is the same Biden who pushed the bankruptcy revisions that were basically a hand job to the credit card companies. He is the same Biden that has wanted a federal Internet tax. He is the same Biden that has been a whore for the RIAA and pushing any shytty anti-consumer idea they could think up but luckily he failed.
Joe Biden sucks...always has and always will. The only reason he was even selected as Obama's VP is because he is a harmless charming buffoon who was supposed to have developed such good relationships with the other members of the Senate that he could help push through Obama's legislative ideas and we all saw how useless he was in that area.

Been saying this. Biden has caught some hellacious press since his son died. He has been a meh Vice President, a terrible senator. People really want this guy to be president just because he's gregarious.

Really the question I have is why aren't democratic candidates using this election to boost their own election campaigns/reinvigorate some type of life in the base.

Everyday of this election cycle is a pep rally for the Republicans. Group A had 10 participants. Group B had 5/6. That's a lot of conservative diversity and ideals to rally around. I feel like this is a wasted opportunity for democrats. Being afraid of challenging Obama/Clinton because of your progressive ideals threatens to weaken the base (imo). Have Democrats even had 5 or 6 different people eligible to run for president since 2004?

The incentive to run isn't the same for dems. Doing ok in the GOP primaries can land you a fox gig, a talk radio spot, at least better book sales.

Thowe incentives don't exist for dems, left doesn't listen to talk radio and the book circuit doesn't sell like the right wing does(due to their own system).

I still think Kaine is too much of a boring, centrist white guy for the VP slot.
I am coming around more to the Warren thing after not really buying into it before. With the way Warren has been acting as Hillary's attack dog its like she is auditioning for the job.

2 woman on the ticket won't work, she's too much to the left too... I think we need someone who brings independents and will help with the swing states.. I don't think warren can do that.
