    Okay, that explains a lot. You are obviously incapable of having a reasonable discussion about Israel.

    That is absolute gold coming from a guy whose faith tells him that he will be teleported to heaven if Israel evicts all Arabs and all the Jews in the world migrate to Israel.

    I left my religion for many reasons and one of them is freeing myself from irrational biases, example: you.

    I think Romney's totals would be the best the Pugs could do against any Dem.
    But Ms. Clinton should crush whoever survives the wreck of the clown car. Pragmatically thinking, a lot of women are going to vote for a woman when they get behind the curtain. And the charade of the right (Faux outrage, Benghazi, tax cuts for the rich, voter suppression, gridlock as government) is coming to an end. Gerrymandering is going to hang on for a decade or more but the GOP in national elections is done.

    (as always I don't think the political strategist for the 1% actually want to win the Presidency, they want The House where all tax bills arise. If they don't have the Presidency they have a scapegoat to run against in local elections)

    Jim Webb has dropped out. Bummer, I really enjoyed their version of him on SNL!

    Well, it sounds like he may run as a third party candidate. If so, I hope his campaign slogan is "Guns don't kill people, Jim Webb kills people."

    For real though, if he runs as a third party candidate and Clinton is the democrat candidate, then I'll either vote Webb or Green Party.

    Biden announces he will not run.

    "I believe we're out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination."

    "While I will not be not a candidate, I will not be silent."

    "I believe President Obama has led this nation from crisis to recovery and we're now on the cusp of resurgence. This party, our nation will make a tragic mistake if we walk away or attempt to undo the Obama legacy. The American people have worked too hard and come too far for that. Democrats should not only defend this record and protect this record, they should run on the record."

    He's out but I wouldn't be surprised if he's keeping open the chance later should something change with a leading candidate.

    Haha, on Monday I saw Karl Rove's pasty giant noggin blathering on Fox News at the gym with a big "Biden to Run!" banner plastered across the front with "ALERT ALERT" crawls.

    Way to go, guys.

    Biden made a smart decision. Stays out of the fray, but on the sideline as a "trusted advisor" (the "favorite uncle" role he is popular for). And if there is a real issue that arises, he can re-enter the race with a favorite role. Win - win situation for him.

    Caught the replay. As I feared, they kept the r****ded debate rules they used for the Republican debate. AC seemed better about forcing people to answer the questions asked, but of course that just gave people another opportunity to get more time by answering off topic on their first answer and then addressing the question with the second answer. The also rans looked like also rans, and I like everything about Sanders better than Hill-dog, except his policy positions.

    Biden would have been the best candidate on the Democrats' side if he had chosen to run. Whether they should be or not, the GOP isn't scared of scandal-ridden Hillary or Bernie the socialist.

    He should be Hillary's VP. VP for life. It could be cush for him and everyone everywhere is comfortable with, him except Senators daughters and thy can just stay away from him.

    It pretty much makes him a kingmaker and guarantees any position he wants outside prez.

    I dunno about sec of state as his strengths lie in domestic politics and its messy pettiness.

    Democrats are now left with a socialist or a candidate under FBI investigation. Let's embrace our conservative principles, and we will win.

    Wrong..

    The last thing the GOP wants was Hillary to cruise to the nomination while they continue the clown show.

    That's why all of the dumbasses predicting a Biden run since Monday were largely GOPster's. Because they believe their own propaganda that Hillary was on the ropes or that there's a smoking gun Benghazi email somewhere. She wasn't, and she isn't.


    Hillary is cruising to the nomination, and the betting favorite to win it all.
