8. I am royally confused
It may seem to you that Clinton is not electable, but that is hardly a given. I will tell you, however, that Joe Biden wouldn't stand the proverbial Chinaman's chance (forgive the politcally incorrect locution) in a general election. Not only is he a loose cannon from a long ways back and has a senate record long enough to tear apart limb from limb (whether you are conservative or liberal), but all that plagiarism stuff from his last campaign would come back to bite so hard your head would be spinning. Joe Biden is completely unelectable. Just way too prone to bloviation.

Look, I was a huge Wesley Clark supporter in 03-04. I worked for several months straight on his campaign in New Hampshire: door to door, ear to phone, town hall by town hall. I was totally expecting his endorsement of Hillary. That said, I highly doubt I will be voting for her in the primaries. But I think she will get the nomination and I think she will be formidable against any of the Republican candidates. I just don't see this "unelectable" thing. But whatever. We all have our scenarios in our heads. Mine may be wrong, too. But don't assume yours is right. In the universe where Hillary Clinton would have to squeak by because of past history, Joe Biden would be lucky to lose by less than 10 points. Which is something I don't think we have to worry about anyway ... just saying that alternate universes do not necessarily exist.
