I don't think the email thing is going to do serious harm. This isn't a logical thing, but I think that the rabid anti-Clinton folks have spent so much time raising so many clearly bogus issues about her that they have inoculated her to a great degree. They've cried wolf so many times that the email thing just comes off as another bogus attack (whether or not it is). Their constant silly attacks have also made it very difficult to raise legitimate concerns about her.

I agree about Biden. Although I don't have a deep understanding of where Biden stands on the issues that I think are the most important, given what I do know about him, I'm pretty sure I could have -- at worst -- held my nose to vote for him.
