Draft Biden Super PAC highlights the question: Will Joe run?

Maureen Dowd’s column in the New York Times this weekend speculated that Vice President Joe Biden might still be considering a run in 2016.

His Super PAC and a resurgent rise in interest has sent chatter through the Twitterverse over whether he’ll toss in his hat with Clinton, Sanders, O’Malley, Webb, and Chafee.

Can the Draft Biden Super PAC raise the kind of money that’s flowing to the Clinton campaign? Is there more to Biden’s favorable numbers than just a sympathy bump in wake of his son Beau’s death? Is he more or less attractive of a candidate than the other five Democrats? And if nominated, could he take on the Republican candidate and win in the general election?

Guests:

Dr. Howie Mandel, Member of the Draft Biden 2016’s National Finance Team; long-time activist on women’s health care issues and Democratic donor
