No, Joe Biden Will Not Be President

It's fun to think about a President Joe Biden, mostly because the guy is lovable.

Don't Say Hillary Clinton Is Running for President

Yesterday The Atlantic Wire published a post titled "Hillary Clinton Is Running for President, OK?" suggesting that the traditional campaign kabuki, in which we all pretend there is reasonable doubt that someone is running for president right up until the moment the words "I'm running" leave a candidate's mouth, is needless.
