Sanders is obviously continuing to close that gap quite a bit. :up:
 
I refuse to believe Jim Webb has 12% of any vote. I refuse to believe Lincoln Chafee has any voters at all.


So sad to see Chafee running such a dismal campaign. I really liked him back in the good ol' Dubya days.

Well good news for logic is that the poll where he has 8% appears to be way off of the numbers on every other poll.

His response to why he voted for a bill he ideologically shouldn't have was hilarious. "Everyone was doing it! I was young! I was the new guy. My dad just died. My dog ate my homework. I was just getting over the flu! Shit happens okay guys?!?"

Yeah, that first poll seems more than a little odd. It also seems like a landslide, the only question is by how much.

I'd like it to be relatively close, and 15 points is not close. Some competition is good for everyone, and will also energize the Sanders kids when he gives a roaring endorsement of her at the convention, just as she did for Obama.

Assuming no major fuck-ups, I don't think the GOP has a prayer.
 
Biden won't get in

he was never going to get in, unless Hillary imploded and then the convention could nominate him at large.

Sanders is about as viable as Huckabee, or Santorum was when they were no. 2 in their party primaries, completely no chance of being nominated, and even less chance of being elected. But, their passionate fans are true believers, what a waste of time,
 
I bet all this Biden chatter is being used by Biden to muster up a following so when he announces he's backing Clinton, she runs away with the Dem vote.

And then we get four more years of VPJB.
 
Nah, just no one's done it.
It's like FDR, there weren't term limits for a president until there was a need for one.

Except VP does basically nothing, so there's not a huge need for a term limit.
 
Anybody see that Snl dem debate skit? Fantastic. Larry David guest appeared as Sanders and killed it. I hope Sanders sticks around a while so we get more LD.

No, because my husband who-will-not-be-named didn't get my text message to record SNL last night :grumpy:
 
Here we have a loser that had a chance to go out as a winner

Will that winner go out as a loser?

CHARLOTTE, NC—Accepting his renomination at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden countered recent Republican criticisms by asserting that most Americans were indeed better off than they were four years ago, but he acknowledged that life still paled in comparison to that one “killer fucking” summer in 1987.

Dressed in a slightly ripped Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt, Biden tapped the top of an Icehouse tallboy, cracked it open, and then informed the 20,000 people in attendance that while the economy is no longer hemorrhaging jobs as it was in 2008, nothing, “not even that little trip I took to Thailand in ’92,” could ever live up to the unforgettable months of June through August 1987, when “the skirts were short, the brews were cold, and you couldn’t walk 2 feet without stepping into some grade-A tang.”

“Things are definitely better today than back in ’08, but is this the summer of ’87? Not a fucking chance,” said Biden, reminiscing about his “prime seed-spreading days,” when he was a carefree 44-year-old senator cruising the Delaware boardwalks in acid-washed Jordache jeans and his pink Sonny Crockett blazer. “Oh, man, that summer was one hell of a ride. I’d take off the T-tops, pack a cooler full of happy juice, and drive down the strip blasting G N’ R.”

“And it seemed like every night ended with a little skinny-dipping with one of those hot-to-trot lifeguards,” continued Biden, making sure to reiterate that he was “tan from head to toe.” “Didn’t matter if they were legal or not. No one cared back then.”

Biden, who reportedly hitchhiked to the convention and almost didn’t make his speech on time because of some business he had to take care of in Greensboro, briefly touched upon how the economy had been moving in the right direction in recent months. However, he emphasized the nation would never see another string of weeks like the run in 1987 when he got “totally blitzed” on his buddy Blaze’s deck nearly every night, tore donuts in the Food Lion parking lot after hours, and scored some “primo” seats for Great White’s Once Bitten… Tour in Atlantic City.

In addition to the “all-night fiestas,” Biden noted that the summer also included a welcome share of mellow nights spent passing a few jays around a beach bonfire with some “real laid-back compadres.”

“The babes back then were a sight to behold,” said Biden, recalling one particular “fiery redheaded number” named Starla who “showed [him] a thing or two” about where to get hot and heavy on the beach without the cops noticing. “They were everywhere—rollerblading in their tight little frosted jean shorts and bikini tops, or kicking back beachside with Van Halen’s 5150 blasting on the boombox. And with my Trans Am purring, I had the pick of the litter.”

“You could almost see their panties getting soaked when I’d rev the V8,” Biden continued. “Drilled a few holes in the muffler to get that rumble that really gets their juices flowing. Wasn’t exactly street legal, but it got me down and dirty more times than I can count.”

While the vice president repeatedly referred to the summer of 1987 as “bitchin’” and “badass,” he admitted the period was not entirely without hardship. Explaining that everyone “played it real damn loose back then,” Biden said he had a brief HIV scare and things were definitely touch-and-go for a while.

Assuring delegates the incident blew over and it had been “smooth sailing” ever since, Biden informed the women in attendance that he was “100 percent clean and mean down there” and that they were all free to inspect for themselves.

“Nothing will ever match ’87, but that shouldn’t stop us from at least trying to relive some of that magic,” the vice president said before draining his third beer of the evening and tossing the crumpled can on the stage. “So if anyone out there wants to keep that spirit alive, I’m declaring it ladies’ night over at Rico’s Cantina on Caldwell, and the Cuervo’s on Uncle Joe.”

Added Biden, “God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”
