No 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 he’s not running.

“He’s doing nothing—nothing—to 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.”

Can't blame him. Public office - especially at the Presidential level - is nothing but a shitstorm anymore.

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.

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.
