Follow our updates at our website and podcast as well as my blog, Media Nation, both in the links below. Email me at dan-dot-kennedy-at-northeastern-dot-edu.

@SBTanner Multiple news reports. Nancy Pelosi said the other day that she is deeply upset that she currently has no relationship with Biden because of steps she took to push him out, though she didn’t regret doing it. Biden is reportedly angry with Obama as well. He really didn’t understand that he had to leave.
