Fine, I'll say it: I'm getting a little tired of all these "A-team" stories the last couple of months, likely fed by people who want nothing more than to make themselves, not necessarily JRB, look good. I don't know these folks, I'm sure they're very nice, but this is getting annoying and is no way to start out at a new gig, even by beltway standards. By the way, does this mean that the Ron Ks, Mike Ds, Jays, Terrell Ms and Annies of the world aren't "A-team?" I'll take that b-team any day of the week. Sorry for the mini-rant.

> BIDEN BUZZ REVISITED (JILL BIDEN ON BOARD?) - M.M. reported a couple weeks back that many Beltway insiders were buzzing about Joe Biden's hires of Clinton era political hands (led by Steve Ricchetti) as an indication that the Vice President might run for the top job in 2016, defying conventional wisdom that his political career would end after an Obama II administration. POLITICO's Glenn Thrush went deep with it: "For the past couple of years ... Biden has quietly assembled an A-team of advisers who would, without doubt, be considered the nucleus of a presidential campaign - if only he wouldn't be 73 in 2016 ... But the old fire crackles yet." A person close to Biden-land said Thrush nailed it but added another interesting tidbit: "Jill Biden has learned to really enjoy public life and would be enthusiastic if he were to run.... Just sayin'," this person told M.M. And one should NEVER underestimate how important spousal-support is to a POTUS run. See: Daniels, Mitch. Thrush piece: http://bit.ly/GPi34
