Thursday Open Thread [10.1.2015]

Vice President Joe Biden “has extended his window for deciding whether to jump into the 2016 presidential campaign, several Democrats say, allowing the contest to play out even longer before he answers one of the biggest questions hanging over the race for the White House,” CNN reports.
“He is not preparing for the first Democratic debate on October 13 in Las Vegas and is not expected to participate, people close to him say, because he feels no pressure to reach a decision by then. He is likely to reveal his plans in the second half of October.”
Sigh. This is starting to get really annoying Joe, and I say that as someone who might be disposed to supporting you. You have less than 50 days to file for the New Hampshire primary. Are you gonna blow by that deadline too? Sh*t or get off the pot.

Senator Coons Miffed that Hillary Forgot his Name.

His being miffed does point to somewhat of an ego, if he expected the Secretary of State to remember the name of a just elected Senator from a small state and also know enough about him to know his interest in Africa. I mean, this is the reaction of a Senator who has been working on Africa for a decade, not six months.
