Joe Biden may not run, but doners would love him to.

The Huffington Post said today that Democratic Party fundraisers have sent a letter encouraging the hesitant Vice President to make a 2016 run for the presidency. Although doners urge him to run, he doesn't seem to indicate that he interested at all. The letter stated that the Obama/Biden presidency was a "spectacular success", which seems to be a real stretch of the word "spectacular", and with over 50 doner signatures you can really see the enthusiasm. It makes me wonder what they want out of his presidency? Why wouldn't they be as enthusiastic for Bernie Sanders who IS running and is surging in the polls ahead of Hillary Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire. Maybe it's because he is not taking corporate hand outs and won't do their bidding, but that is a story for another time.

All in all, I like Joe Biden. He seems honest. He would be, by far, the most qualified candidate. He is 75 which would make him the oldest president and he has dealt with a lot in his life. I just feel like it would be a lot of the same, make the rich richer and continue deleting the middle class. That I can't abide.
