Hillary's weakness is creating a golden opportunity for Biden

Media reports suggest that the vice president will make a final decision about entering the presidential race next month. Many astute political observers still think the smart money is on Biden staying out of the race. If so, he ought to reconsider.

Put yourself in Joe Biden’s shoes for a minute. You’re 72 years old, meaning that, barring a successful White House bid, your political career is over – and, as such, you have nothing to lose from ending up on the wrong side of the Clinton machine.

You’re a guy who loves the give-and-take of retail politics at a time when the Democratic frontrunner is conducting herself like the Queen of Hearts.

You’ve got a plausible appeal to blue-collar voters, while Hillary Clinton seems more like Leona Helmsley every day.
