“One of the reasons people love Joe Biden is he just kind of says what he thinks,” vice presidential nominee Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) told The Huffington Post on Thursday. “He’s a guy whose heart is on his sleeve, and that’s one of the things people love about him.” In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson on Sunday, Biden acknowledged that he has this reputation ― but said it’s in part because he’s a guy and doesn’t have to deal with the double standards that female politicians still face.

You’d think we’d be past this by now—the endless discussion of whether Hillary Clinton has the stuff it will take to win the presidential election, whether she has the stuff to govern, whether she has the stuff to make you like her. But we’re not. And it has little to do with her ties to Wall Street, or her email server or marriage to a certain former president. It’s because she’s a woman

Michelle Goldberg, The Nation – September 11, 2015

Rebecca Traister, New York Magazine – August 30, 2015

If Clinton actually craters, Biden might make sense.

Perry Bacon, Jr., NBC News – August 27, 2015

If Vice President Joe Biden opts to run for the Democratic presidential nomination, he will face an unusual potential barrier for a male politician: his gender.

Why Hillary Clinton Needs a Little Bit of Biden-ness

Posted on August 4, 2015August 8, 2015 by Kelly Dittmar

Ruth Marcus, Washington Post – August 4, 2015

Maybe Joe Biden can help Hillary Clinton get her groove back. Or, get her groove at all. It’s been sorely missing this campaign.
