Biden and progressives: where's the love?

This is not candidate diary, as I still don't have a candidate, and the guy that it's about may not even still be a candidate by the time I get a chance to cast a primary vote.

I just needed to get this off my chest, and I'm hoping for a little insight into what is genuinely a mystery to me.

Today's New York Times The Caucus blog features a post on--are you ready for this?--Senator Joe Biden!! I was pleasantly surprised, because I really like Biden, and I'd like to see/hear more from him. It's been a great source of puzzlement (and frustration) to me why Biden's candidacy is virtually invisible in the media--I mean, with 35 years in the Senate and as prestigious chairmanships of both the Judicial and Foreign Relations Committees, he's hardly a fringe candidate.  

I'm apparently not the only one puzzled by this, as the NYT's Matt Bai shares my befuddlement...
