Related: About this forumNo Signs Biden Is Serious About Running
Although Vice President Joe Biden has said he is seriously considering a run for president and has visited some early-primary states, National Journal says hes not running.
Hes doing nothingnothingto stand up an operation. No exploratory committee. No organizing in early states. No super PAC or allied nonprofit. Indeed, no Ready for Joe bumper stickers are being printed and sent to field offices.

(22,000 posts)He's had a long distinguished career and becoming VP for 8 years was the icing on the cake for him. I'm sure he'll miss it though.

(22,000 posts)I like Biden, but I think he's content with retiring having been VP. A presidential campaign would be a difficult uphill fight. It's too bad Al Gore didn't choose him as his VP in 2000 instead of Liairman.
