Biden has now used up about 30 of the 48 hours. Does anybody know what his schedule looks like over the coming days?

As much as Biden wants to be POTUS (and as likely as 2016 would be his last serious shot), he is also a loyal Democrat who doesn't want to divide the party and risk a Republican in the White House (in addition to controlling the other two branches of government). Whomever the GOP nominates will, if elected, be in a prime position to roll back the policies and reforms of the Obama administration  - an administration in which Biden played a significant role (though certainly not as powerful as his predecessor in the previous administration). So I actually understand why Joe is taking so long to make a decision, even if I also find it frustrating. Tongue

Apparently the Washington Post put out a story on Biden's "evolving" position on the Bin Laden raid.

With this change his position now matches Hillary Clinton's "long" support of said raid.

He's in alright.

I had sort of decided that he's not running until he says he announces, but I agree that he's probably running because of this.

I feel like he's definitely announcing today, maybe at the University of Delaware or something.

That's what Bill Kristol insists is happening.

He'll be making a statement in the next few minutes in the WH Rose Garden flanked by POTUS. If Obama is there with him, I doubt he's running.

Now I seriously doubt this will happen, but what happens if he announces and Obama endorses him in the Rose Garden?
