I'm going to go way out on a limb, and assert that Tim Kaine, Mark Warner, and Rahm Emmanuel, aren't running.

I'm not only re-registering as a Democrat, in order to vote for Jim Webb, but I've also contributed $250 to his exploratory committee. In addition to the fact that I like and admire Senator Webb, and think he'd make a good President (despite the fact our political views aren't in precise alignment), but he's also the only candidate for President, in either major party, who doesn't make me feel sick.

^An example of the ever-elusive survey result, where Webb comes in better than 4th place. Hope springs eternal, I suppose...

Oh, and its hilarious that Eric Swalwell has endorsed O'Malley.

Interesting Notes about CNN Poll:
Only 55% say Hillary will be Democratic Nominee: 64% said so same time in 2007.
Enthusiasm has fallen over 15 points for Hillary from 60% to 43%.
Sanders is +2 among men, -19 among women.
Sanders' lead is +26 among liberals, but -32 (and in 3rd) among moderates.

Same reason Hillary had huge leads a year ago - nobody had started attacking her yet and she was well-known Generic Democrat.
Joe is a blue collar uncle-like, gaffe-prone (not overmanaged), grieving sympathetic figure not putting forth anything controversial right now.
If he actually gets in and becomes a threat, that will change and his numbers will drop.

Hmmm thanks for the info RP. I have a strange felling that the Centre-Left including Biden mind all jump in to Support Hillary to stop Bernie Saunders. A Clinton, Binden race would be giving the ticket away to Saunders by splitting the moderate to leaning liberal vote.

I loved the attack add the Republicans did on Nevada Treasurer Kate Marshall for copying Biden's quotes it was funny

Quite honestly, as a republican, I'd much rather see Hillary as the general election nominee. Much more predictable of a race. But, I think that Biden will get in, splitting the establishment vote (between him and Hillary) and ultimately leading to a Sanders nomination.

I doubt that Biden entering will throw the nomination to Sanders. In '08, the Hilary and Obama camps effectively neutralized Biden, Dodd & Richardson. And if all else fails and Sanders somehow wins enough delegates, the DNC can always bring up the "not a real Democrat" card that they used against LaRouche and simply refuse to sit his delegates.

I had thought on how i would vote if i were an American voting in the Primaries. Was starting to lean towards Sanders recently, but think i would vote for Hillary if i voted in the primary today. As much as i like Bernie Sanders i cant see him getting anything passed the US House or Senate if he were elected. Republicans will paint him as a male Nancy Pelosi.

At risk of offending Bernie and NeverTrump supporters, I am going to call the Presidential primaries so I can get some general election functions working.
