Democratic Primaries

nationally, and more, long before anyone knew if he'd run. The beginning of the primary races was paralyzed for months while we all waited.

The question of whether VP Biden would run sucked up all the media oxygen in the Democratic room, so that coverages of Sanders, for instance, all speculated about Biden and how Sanders would fare against the giant Democratic elephant. Same for all the other candidates and potential candidates, none of whom could make a significant decision until they knew whether they'd be running against Biden -- or not, and the same for the rest of the political world.

Btw, speaking of after the fact, I don't think much of this hard-wrung concern as your biggest problem with Biden at this point well over a year later. But that is definitely encouraging. Because we do agree that we need to be in good, strong position when the big pros on the right and overseas show us what they can produce out of nothing.
