Love me some VP Joe Biden

He's the only reason that Morning Joe was watchable today. He is such a decent and compassionate man - I will miss him dearly when the guard changes in January. What an earnestly wonderful guy - and he truly loves this country.

His is such a strong bonded family. Had timing been different, I'm quite sure he would have run. Party leaders wanted him to run in 2004 and he said no. If anyone could have beat GWB, it would have been Joe.
