Biden’s Problem: Just One Sitting VP Elected President Since 1837

Joe Biden is running against history. According to the report from Smart Politics founder Eric Ostermeier, just one sitting vice president has been elected president in the past 175 years, while seven others have run and lost. That lone sitting vice president to be elected president was George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Julian Castro: The Second Coming of Obama

The possibility of a Clinton/Castro ticket in the 2016 Presidential Election seems very realistic as Julian Castro appears to be on the Democrat Party fast track. The former San Antonio mayor was picked by President Barack Obama last summer to become the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Previously he said a cabinet job he had “no upside politically.”
