text: The odds of her memory of who was at the party aligning with who was on his social calendar for meeting for a party - if in fact they weren't at the same party are absolutely astronomical. You'd probably have better odds of winning the lottery multiple times.
  Not as hard as you'd think if she was at "one remove" from his social circle and interacted with most of the same people. If you know who in your circle are also in his(or her) circle, you have a decent chance of creating a list of people who could end up in the same place at the same time even absent actual knowledge of any such event actually happening.
  I'm not terribly interested in actually debating either case but rather the overall treatment each has received. Here's an early timeline comparison of the two accusations:
  - The New York Times publishes a story minutes after the original Wapo article surfaces, stating that because of this accusation, his nomination was now "in turmoil" (day 1 of accusation)
  - Huffpo runs a front page story about the accusations, quoting Biden as saying, "Women’s Claims Of Sexual Assault Should Be Presumed To Be True." (day 2)
  - The New York Times publishes an op-ed from Anita Hill, who argues: "With the current heightened awareness of sexual violence comes heightened accountability for our representatives." (day 3)
  - CNN reports, "Why is Bernie Sanders still running for president?" The Reade claim is not mentioned on the network, either on-air or online. (day 1)
  - The NYT publishes a story explaining that Biden was growing "impatient" with the idea of more debates with Bernie Sanders. The Reade claim is not mentioned anywhere in the paper. (day 1)
  - Jimmy Kimmel interviews Biden, and the two discuss "Where's Waldo?" Kimmel does not ask Biden about Reade's accusation. (day 2)
