not that much. it should have been a red flag. right now, we re coming at probably the best moment the democratic field has had in months. they had a great debate and sanders came out strong. there s a really strong field. 15 million people tuned in. there s obviously interest in this competition. there s not a clear path for biden to run except by attacking hillary which is what he s doing now, but he s doing it not as a candidate, just as her former colleague saying bad things about her and telling sort of changed stories about what went on around pakistan and the bin laden raid. i want to play biden speaking about bin laden today. take a listen. every single person in that room hedged their bet except leon panetta. leon said go. everyone else said, 49, 51, got to me and said joe, what do you think?
