Adnrea Mitchell. it's Time to Admit Biden is Probably not Running

I mean this is just getting ridiculous. I've noticed that in some recent polls Biden;s numbers have been going down. Which just shows Democrat voters are not stupid.

Yet Mtchell begun her partisan show-MSNBC has her covering Hillary though she's a Hillary hater going back to the 90s-probably for Maureen Dowd reasoning: if you want to attack Hillary in biased, misleading,and  even sexist ways, it takes a woman-on tomorrow's Dem debate by focusing breathlessly on Biden. 

The verdict of all the fanfare? Only Joe knows if he's running. Well, it's clear why we need Pulitzer prize journalism to discover that. 

I mean to begin a discussion of the Democrat debate not with issues or anything about any of those in the debate-or even doing a Chris Hayes and whining that Lawrence Lessig is not in the debate-but rather to focus on someone who won't be in the debate is simply journalistic malpractice. 

If Biden deserves to be mentioned at all, it would be as a footnote late in the game after all the important campaign issues have been discussed exhaustively. 

And if you are going to mention Biden at this point you just have to be honest about it and admit that he's probably not running. The likelihood that he's running is very small. 

He won''t be in the debate but even if he comes in the day after it's quite doubtful he can catch up in terms of endorsements, money, and ground game. Yet we hear that maybe he will wait as late as next Spring. 

The more time goes by the more you have to treat Biden stories as little more than Elvis sightings: possible but not remotely probable. 

Liberals however, are clearly over it.

Yet Mitchell acts as if it's still 50-50.
