Bloomberg News columnist Albert Hunt, stirring the pot, encourages Joe Biden to run for president and immediately name as his running mate Elizabeth Warren. That would freak out Hillary Clinton, Hunt says, and add some new energy to the Democratic race.
Without going so far as picking a running mate for him, the Washington Post ponders what would happen if Biden jumps into the race, as sources increasingly predict will happen. He’d have to raise a lot of money to give Clinton a serious run, the story says, but the very prospect of a Biden candidacy has a large number of President Obama’s fundraisers salivating. Obama himself is trying to stay out of it.
