changed quite a bit so while he s enjoying popularity now it s all about sustainability. neil: no one raises money like he does, 6 million within 24 hours? it s not how you start in this business it s how you finish. neil: i understand that. that s far more important. neil: but that blows anyone else away. if that s your barometer. so far, biden is not in the race yet so just hold your powder. neil: if biden enters the race he s the automatic front runner? i think the challenge for uncle joe is to maintain that popularity and run a race he s never had to run before, this will also be the first time he s run as the former vice president neil: you re right about that the one thing that we re mentioning joe biden, maybe it says something about the democratic party today maybe our times today that just saying the vice president of the united states is a decent guy gets you in a trouble. is he an oddity in this year s campaign if he enters? because of stuff like that. well i think
