president obama accomplish is not the joe biden of eight, nine years ago. he has a track record that he can sort of sit side by side with the president on. this is problematic if you are the hillary clinton campaign is does biden say that i am a more valid authentic person who can embrace the obama coalition than hillary clinton can right now? i think he can make a claim. it is interesting that hillary put a shot out there. i always viewed joe biden as a break this glass candidate that in case hillary clinton implodes he is there to step in. materially, what is so different about joe biden? he is a former senator with foreign policy experience. he is over the age of 70. some can argue that he has more liabilities than hillary clinton not just on bankruptcy bill but crime legislation. hillary clinton s message is to
