Guardian Live Blog: Reports in its 9.07pm post the following, " Biden’s campaign said Thursday he spoke to Hill and expressed regret over what she went through during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whom she accused of sexual harassment "
Lets Get Real:
Thus Joe Biden faces problems on two fronts, he has been accused of being to touchy feely with women, and his past history with Anita Hill over how she was treated when she gave negative information to the US Senate Judicial Committee when going through the confirmation process over Clarence Thomas. It can be postulated that the other Democratic Candidates or their supporters will make this an issue. Also it negates how hard Biden can attack Trump when it comes to sexual assault allegations against him, people in glass houses etc. It would be interesting if Biden selected a running mate early, if it was a woman, from an ethnic background this would help, but it can be argued that it is to early for such a move, let's see how the Democratic Presidential debates go, will the sensible Joe to turn up or the gaffe candidate. This is going to be an interesting Presidential race.
