Joe Biden Not Running for President

Vice President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he would not be seeking the Democratic nomination for President of the United States ending months of speculation about whether the elder statesman would throw his hat into the ring.

Earlier reports this week by members of Biden's staff had suggested that the Vice President was coordinating with campaign organizers about a possible October launch date. However, in an emotional show, Biden with his wife by his side, laid these rumors to rest suggesting that although he is the rightful heir to Obama's legacy the time for a successful campaign launch "has closed."

For months Democrats and political pundits alike have speculated that the Vice President would be the only logical choice capable of defeating the GOP were Clinton to falter. However, after a strong showing at the first Democratic debate, Clinton has already shown that this isn't 2008 again. Whether or not she can continue to hold off rising challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders is yet to be seen.

Larry David Feels the Bern

If you haven't yet seen SNL's hilarious take on the Democratic Debate this one is not to be missed. Some viewers even went as far as to say that the SNL cast made better candidates than the real ones!

Larry David shines as Bernie Sanders replicating his Bronx accent, off the charts attitude and fervor while railing against the 1% and inequality.

David, best know as the co-creator of Seinfeld and inspiration for the character George Costanza is now in talks with the Sanders campaign about attending future events.

“I think we'll use Larry at our next rally. He does better than I do,” Sanders said on ABC's “This Week”

Fans immediately took to Twitter with reactions: 

    "Larry David doing a better Bernie Sanders than the real Bernie Sanders on #SNL," tweeted Roger Simon. 

     "Larry David as Bernie Sanders on SNL is the greatest thing I have ever seen," tweeted Mark Scoff. 

While I hope Mark gets out more in the near future, one thing is clear. I think were going to be seeing a lot more Sanders (both of them) in the upcoming weeks.

New Poll Finds Clinton's Support Among Independents in Trouble

A new poll reported by the Boston Globe finds that Bernie Sanders holds a commanding lead over Hillary Clinton among Independent voters. A sample of 500 likely voters in the upcoming NH primary were asked who they would support if the primary were held today.

Of 177 self identified "Independents/Undecided" voters 42% selected Sen. Bernie Sanders as their first choice while only 24% would pick Clinton.

The significance of Independent voters has continued to be a hot topic on nightly news with many political pundits agreeing that Independent and Undecided voters will likely play a crucial role in the upcoming election.

Considering that 35% of all voters polled identified as independent/undecided Mrs. Clinton may very well have her work cut out for her if she expects to secure the nomination.
