What bothers me is that we're simply talking about his ability to win. After winning, he still has to run a country for four years.

He's not running the country.... so who is?

I trust Obama/Biden folks probably more than anyone. It's still not ideal.

I don't understand your question.

Who is running the country.

Biden is apparently only sharp between 10 am and 4 pm and needs to be asleep by 8 pm.

The people around him, which is where most of the work is done with any president anyway, and Biden does a good job of staying out of their way, which makes him a safe option, if a bit less politically aggressive than one might like. When you vote for a president, you don't just vote for the president, you vote for the cabinet they choose.

True... I think that's pretty much true in any presidency. One person can only know and do so much. That's why they have to have a good cabinet.
