Quote of the Day

“Sometimes it just overwhelms you.”

— Vice President Joe Biden, in an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Rick Klein: “It was one of many lines that it was virtually impossible to imagine any other politician, much less a potential presidential candidate, uttering on national television. In its raw emotion and honesty, the interview displayed what is undeniably compelling about Biden, his life story, his passions, and his motivations. It also suggested strongly a man who just isn’t able to bring himself to run for president, not at this time and under these circumstances. Yet somehow that all seemed secondary for the moment.”
