Anything can change in politics, but Earnest wasn't circumspect there.

And I think you underestimate how much he craves the opportunity to crush Hillary's chances in '16 as payback for '08.

Admittedly, I'm just prognosticating here but I suspect this is where it's headed.

    - they've been including him in the polls for months, despite not even having announced, and he never breaks out of the 20% range -- nm - jangles Sep 19, 17:43 2
      - (a guy who hasn't even announced he's running, is polling at 20%) -- nm - Strongbad Sep 19, 18:02 1
