Biden Unleashed

Los Angeles Times: “The former vice president was cloistered — seen by reporters but not available for questions — until his dire political situation left him no choice but to shed his front-runner’s presumption and show a bit of stagy swagger. Finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses will do that to a candidate whose White House bid is heavily premised on supposed electability.”

“For the loquacious Biden, standing in a campaign field office in a former American Legion Hall, it was like a dam burst open. Or a shaken soda bottle, uncorked. He talked. And talked and talked some more: about his rivals and their extravagant promises — ‘C’mon, man’ — about the absurdity of those crowded debates, where seemingly everyone and their brother has been allowed on stage.”
