It's a funny thing. Three more women have come forward to accuse Joe Biden of invading their space by inappropriate touching. At the same time, the media/Democrat counter-offensive to protect Biden has moved into full swing. It's starting to look like Biden may just side step the whole mess.
One truly has to wonder whether the result will be to ignore all this when the next ten women step forward. After all, there are pictures of at least another ten that Biden did this to. And we know that means there must be another 100 or so who could come forward. It's much easier being victim eight or nine than being the first one to speak out.
The reality, though, is that no matter whether Biden runs or not, this whole episode has labeled him a creepy old man in a way that he had avoided in the past. Now it's not just that there are some pictures in which he looks like he is acting improperly, but there are also women who are complaining about it. Biden has been damaged. We just don't know how severely. The Democrats will have to decide if they want to go with a nominee who is damaged goods. They did that in 2016 and it didn't work out that well for them.
