it seems a bit of love the 2nd string QB phenomenon going on. I certainly understand the dislike and distrust for Hillary, but has that really changed that much since '08? And wasn't she well ahead of him in '08 even before his bone headed nail-in-the-coffin statement about Obama?

I just don't get the appeal of Biden other than he's folksy and much more likable than Hillary. But would that be enough? What exactly has he done or does he believe that makes him much different than Hillary? Much of Bernie's appeal is from being enough from the lunatic fringe to be able to play the outsider role, and being able to fire up the youth and uber liberal vote that fill his rallies and dream of being Denmark one day. I don't see Biden appealing to that same crowd, and as such, may have been dispensed more quickly than Bernie in a battle between more traditional type candidates.
