The biggest issue to attaining that goal is "the Kamala problem": Fair Use: [i][list] [*]“Their problem is Kamala Harris. She’s an absolute, total lightweight. She doesn’t have the touch.” The touch is that indefinable thing that makes people like you, root for you, sense some magic in you. “Some people have it and some people don’t.” California politicos in both parties, he says, were shocked when Biden chose her as vice president in 2020. What to do about Ms. Harris? “It’s a real problem. Biden has to show leadership on it and let the party know what he wants—and enforce it. It’s a messy situation but Biden has to be involved in it. He’s gonna have to decide.”[/i] [/list] The source of the immediate quote is Stuart Spencer - a now 96yo Reagan operative. Within the column, there are inferences that Trump is "done for" and that, if the "fire" that Joe had on display to the world at the SOTU, "he's in for '24". Furthermore, Times columnist[URL=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/11/opinion/joe-biden-2024.html?unlocked_article_code=TtLMK8OnfcMvF-JUyl-AlfAIL9uvc3-Vz8pXZITAMyseohbrSq3W5sP9IPclb-hW64aMyIW-GSryDIj1st45XYtP6gAsCaChR4AdX8DQoLPxbEAte2U-upP9notl5ut3IkUaFUEwNxW62ClORB6zli4r90QdOWXtdhOe_l4cz-tKcQuQ1oMlcc7E6QdAxVE-hfa-wPUnTG1b-k0fQbCCNG-9itf-4SSouHum3ymZgRU7it4NkMnFfj5E-Ru0752r1SG5gnpVJNNxbVOuljhi46e-9hZeeUFX76gqhM32fAV-y8Cnk4fDwxjfLoNxwYISg20QCVjza0A&smid=share-url] Maureen Dowd[/URL] is even more direct than is Peggy: Fair Use: [i][list] [*]WASHINGTON — Everyone is frantically hunting for clues about whether Joe Biden will run again. His State of the Union speech was dissected for intimations. When he kept using the phrase “finish the job,” was that a hint? Where is Daniel Craig’s “Knives Out” detective when we need him? Asked about his decision in a Telemundo interview on Thursday, the 80-year-old president replied, “I’m just not ready to make it.” When my colleagues Frank Bruni and Michelle Goldberg, and I write “Hey, Joe, Don’t Give It a Go” columns suggesting that he bow out on top, is the president listening and pondering what we say? Nah. Guess what, political sleuths? It’s not really a Scooby-Doo mystery. No need to consult a soothsayer and tremble on the edge of your seats. Joe Biden is running. And that’s no malarkey.[/i] [/list] Well, so much for my thoughts that the SOTU was going to be the "Sunset" of Joe's two year presidency. What remains for me is will I vote for him? Could Joe captain the domestic "Ship of State"? Probably; he has shown that he can assemble a group of competent advisors that represent strength and stability (compare turnover to date with Trump's after two years). But what happens when Joe is sitting down "one on one" with Putin, Xi, or whoever the "Mullah of the Day" is in Iran. Will he "give away the store" without realizing it? Food for thought when trekking to the school, library, or fire house on "that Tuesday in November". [/QB][/QUOTE]
