Defining issue

I don't want to blog about the speculation on Joe Biden getting into the primary, but i was happy to see this:

If Vice President Joe Biden decides to jump into the presidential race, his decision will be driven, he has said in recent conversations, by a belief that Hillary Clinton's background won't allow her to be a credible messenger when it comes to income inequality, which Biden sees as a defining issue.

This is all anonymously sourced and speculative, but i am glad to see that the thinking seems to be about a substantial issue and not just scandal stuff. And of course:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), meanwhile, has soaked up large chunks of the party's grassroots financial backing and could lay claim to having elevated economic inequality as a focus for months before Biden entered the race.

When Sanders got into this race, i never hoped for more than that he would bring national attention to the issue of income inequality. In that sense, he's already won. Of course now i do dare hope for more, regardless of whether Bernie is running against Hillary or Joe or both.
