He was a very likeable vice president, and if anything adverse had happened to Obama, he would have been very capable taking over.

I truly like Biden, and if he was the last one standing, I would not be very disappointed. I have been following the American presidential elections since Kennedy (I'm a bit of a political tragic) and I think that this is the best field of candidates yet. Also, almost any one of them could try again if they weren't successful this time.

I have watched many interviews with Mayor Pete and I'm really impressed. America has already had a black president, almost got there with a woman, can we push the envelope a bit further with a gay president?

This will be an intriguing campaign.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
