Biden must run

Exclusive: Democratic donors urge Biden to challenge Clinton in U.S. 2016 race

A group of prominent Democratic Party fundraisers on Friday began circulating a letter to encourage a hesitant Vice President Joe Biden to enter the 2016 race for U.S. president.

The letter, signed by nearly 50 people, calls the Obama-Biden administration a "spectacular success." It cites job creation, a lower unemployment rate, new health insurance policies for nearly 9 million Americans and the end of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"To finish the job, America needs a leader who is respected both home and abroad, and who understands the real challenges facing American families. In our opinion, the next president must be Joe Biden. If he announces he’s running, we’re all in. It’s a campaign we know he will win," the letter says.

Whether he takes up this invitation or not remains to be seen. This also maybe a way to force a decision from Biden since the suspense of 'will he or wouldn't he' is distracting the party's campaign. Assuming that Bernie is not electable being too far to the left, the party is now recognizing that Hillary is not as strong a candidate that everyone assumed, and she is not getting any stronger similar to Bush.
