What's the success rate of VP's running immediately after their President's term ends anyway?
Biden is much more facile with words -- not as eloquent as Obama (and who is?) but certainly better able to convey message than Hillary. He also didn't have the baggage she had, which was a big reason Democrat turnout was low.
