He is no sell out and would not be sharing the White House with Bill.

It's the name of the game and the game is politics.

I believe some are above that.

Politicians constantly attack each other in primaries just to be friendly again afterwards. Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney were highly critical of each other during the primaries, and Obama and Biden also had some disagreements.

Precisely

This reminds me of House of Cards.

Well it pretty much is. Shows based on political arena.

Above what?

Being VP under a Presidential hopeful that has a very strong chance of winning is better than having nothing.

He's in his early 50's, being VP for 4-8 years would set him up perfectly to run for President himself, since 4-8 years of running the country as VP is a very strong card to hold, considering whomever his opponent would be wouldn't likely have that.

Yeah, it's very unlikely any of the VPs still alive will run for president again.

Not sure if you're being facetious.

While Biden is a possibility, other than that, there's likely not many previous VPs who would run, either Dem or Rep.

No, I am serious. Biden seems to old. And I'd bet a good bit of money that Cheney, Gore and Bush Sr. will definitely not run/run again. And I can't see Dan Quayle making a comeback...so

No worries then.

I'm thinking she might pick John Kasich.

Never heard of him, so she won't

We never heard of Obama, he became president.

I heard of Obama. Started out as whispers in the wind. The wind of change.

Listening to the wind of change. An August summer night.

Lets go to Gorki Park together, mate!

We can watch soldiers passing by

You like him Rob?

Who?

O'Malley: Don't really know much about his stances, so can't say. His stance on immigration seems two-faced, all I've read so far though.

Bardock42: Yeah, he's alright. His stance on immigration is crap though.

Clinton/Bardock 2016 confirmed

He would have a hard time doing that since in his opening bid he spoke against Hiliary.

As long the attacks don't get personal or cause serious problems for the opponent's campaign, politicians have an incredible capacity to forgive when it comes to unifying their party after the primaries are over.

I do believe he hopes to win the nomination, and it would be cool if he did, but he's young enough that this isn't a do-or-die election. If Hilary doesn't get the presidency this year, it's probably the end for her, she'll be too old and other stars will rise in the Democratic Party, whereas O'Malley could have to wait out two more elections and still be "only" 60 years old (prime presidential age) in 2024.
