I think he's angling for a shot in the event of a brokered convention for the DNC.
There is no chance in hell the DNC nominates Senator Sanders. Hillary is in big legal trouble. O'Malley is a non-factor.
The stars seem to be aligning for a brokered convention.
Joe Biden is undoubtedly President Obama's preferred choice.
Don't count out Al Gore or John Kerry, either.
But my money would be on Elizabeth Warren. She would benefit greatly from not having a primary fight to scrutinize her history. And the Left loves her.
Then Bloomberg swoops in and steals the show, perhaps.
Not to say there is not disorder over at the GOP either. I think the odds of a brokered convention there are somewhat less, but if the GOP does not coalesce around a candidate that the party would find acceptable (ie not Trump, Cruz, or Paul) then the possibility is there.

I personally think Al Gore and John Kerry are good Choices! Are you sure its not too late for them? I still think Joe Biden should have gotten in!

SPC Andrew Griffin - yes, it is too late for them. Al is out making millions on his carbon credit Ponzi scheme, and John Kerry is doing such a bang-up job as Secretary of State, he is sure to be burnishing his credentials...not.
Both already lost in their Presidential runs because both were insufferably boring individuals.
