Dem insiders predict Biden won’t run

The Hill reports:

When the dust settles after Vice President Joe Biden’s flirtation with a presidential bid, Democratic insiders believe he’ll sit out 2016.

The majority of the more than a dozen party strategists who spoke to The Hill on the condition of anonymity don’t believe either that Biden can surmount the difficulties of pulling together a top-flight organization so close to the Iowa caucuses or that Hillary Clinton has truly fallen low enough to give him a large enough opening.

“For all the bedwetting Democrat stories, there haven’t been this stampede of people who said they are going to leave the Clinton campaign or are upset,” said a Democratic strategist who worked on multiple presidential campaigns.

“She still remains very strong nationally and in the primary.”

The excitement over old Joe.
