Because everyone has got to look smart.  And nobody can stand to look like
they don't know.

Joe Biden spikes on social media

Joe Biden dominated the 2016 conversation on social media this weekend*. *

Here’s what talk of Biden potentially entering the presidential contest
looks like in the media echo chamber.

You can see that mentions of him on Saturday far eclipsed any day in the
previous two weeks and started as Maureen Dowd’s column
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/opinion/sunday/maureen-dowd-joe-biden-in-2016-what-would-beau-do.html>
entered the bloodstream.

Just to provide some perspective, here’s the total mentions of Biden
alongside those of Jeb during the last two weeks of July. There were nearly
five times as many mentions of the former Florida governor as there were of
the sitting vice president, according to our analytics partners at Zignal
<http://zignallabs.com/>Labs.

But, over this weekend, there was more media interest in Biden than Bush.
Reports that he was “actively exploring a presidential run
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/us/politics/joe-biden-white-house-2016-presidential-campaign.html>”
are what sparked the intense chatter:

But Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer weighed in with a reality check, tweeting
<https://twitter.com/danpfeiffer/status/627921386342846464?refsrc=email&s=11>Sunday:
“Here’s an uncomfortable reality, 90% of the people being quoted today as
‘Sources Close to Biden,’ know nothing about the VP’s thinking.”
