Slog - Comments on Biden on Hillary http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/biden_on_hillary_1 Joseph Biden, the newly-declared Democratic presidential candidate, took a few choice swipes at his opponents today in the New York Observer. Here's his analysis of Hillary Clinton's chances: “Are [voters] going to turn to Hillary Clinton?” Biden asked, lowering his voice to a hush to explain why Mrs. Clinton won’t win the election. “Everyone in the world knows her,” he said. “Her husband has used every single legitimate tool in his behalf to lock people in, shut people down. Legitimate. And she can’t break out of 30 percent for a choice for Democrats? Where do you want to be? Do...

Mr. Biden is equally skeptical—albeit in a slightly more backhanded way—about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”


Yikes. Note to Sen. Biden: A decidedly nontrivial portion of the Democratic base is African-American. Perhaps you shouldn't implicitly suggest they're mostly inarticulate, dumb, and dirty.

That's what will kill him right there.

How do all these hats in the ring create or foster cohesiveness?

Bloviating is a religion with him. And don't forget the plagiarism business; future Republicans certainly won't. Biden's got no chance, or if he has any, it's a negative capability for the Democrats.

He always was. He was barely above John Kerry on the "has a chance" meter. Only Republicans think this is a big deal.

He's a DLC dem-slave for the Delaware corporate masters with no redeeming qualities. Everytime he has found himself in a position to make a stand about something that matters he wimps out.

I am stunned that is stupid enough to call Hillary's bid a no-go proposition. Have any of you Sloggers ever met a Biden Democrat? Is one of you one?
