Democratic donor contacts Biden allies about possible run

Yahoo, via Drudge  "A prominent Democratic donor worried about the party's chances of winning the presidency emailed dozens of fans of Vice President Joe Biden on Friday, urging them to remain prepared to donate if Biden jumps into the race.

"The donor, Bill Bartmann, cited new polling showing Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont nearly tied with the Hillary Clinton, eroding the 30-point lead the former secretary of state held at the end of last year. Bartmann and other party insiders are concerned that Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, is too far to the left to win against a Republican in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

" 'We cannot afford to lose the White House," Bartmann wrote in the email, seen by Reuters.

"The email drew a string of affirmative responses, also seen by Reuters.

"Biden announced in October that he would not seek the presidency, despite support from a group of backers under the name "Draft Biden 2016." But whispers have continued among some donors who hope that Biden could be convinced to run after all should Clinton’s campaign prove fruitless." . . .

This Biden?   

 This Joe?  Joe Biden plagiarised Neil Kinnock speech  "What's in a quote? For Joe Biden, his plagiarisation of a speech delivered by Neil Kinnock, then Labour leader, helped put pay to his own campaign to win the Democrats' presidential nomination more than 20 years ago."

"I exaggerate when I'm angry, but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me." Joe Biden

This Joe? If the vice president runs, Clinton and other opponents could use his treatment of Anita Hill to erode his support among women and blacks.

Maybe this Joe:
