Joe Biden will run in the Olympics before he decides to run in this election.

I leaned yes all summer, but, I can't see him entering without participating in the first debate.

He'll make his decision "in the second half of October." The first debate is Oct. 28, and he's already met the polling standard. If he decides to jump him, he'll be at that debate.

I had been leaning no, but Hillary's incredibly weak fundraising numbers (she was almost beaten by a Socialist, for Christ's sake) should be tempting to old Joe. I voted yes, though I think the odds are about 50-50.

EDIT: I hadn't seen that CNN story. If that's true then yeah, that casts a different light on it. But just the other day, the story was that his deadline was mid October. The CNN story, like all bullsh**t "journalism" quotes "unnamed sources," so it could definitely be BS. We'll see.

If he doesn't run by the primary filing deadlines (November 9th is the first) does that mean he can't be on the ballot in those states?

First debate is on the 13th, but I agree with most of this post.

Oh sh!t you're right. I got it confused with the Republican CNBC debate. I am all kinds of off today. But yeah, that definitely makes sense for him to skip the first debate and see how Hillary does. If Bernie eviscerates her, like I expect him to, then that would be the bell for Biden to jump in.

If you asked me a week ago? Well, I would've said yes. But now it seems like he's letting it get away from him, which is really too bad. I voted no.

At this point, I think he'd be the latest entrant into a presidential primary under the modern system. I know there were a lot of late entries in 1968, after Johnson announced he wouldn't be running only in March, but have there been any so late since then?

I hope not, because he is the Democrats' best candidate.

I've been thinking he wouldn't be the whole time, and nothing has happened to get me to re-assess that opinion.

Probably not, but I hope he does.  His candidacy (in addition to that of Bernie Sanders) would make the field more competitive, and will drive up interest and turnout in the primaries, to the ultimate benefit of Hillary if and when she ultimately wins the nomination.

I'm not sure he'd be the latest. In 1991, Clinton declared on this day, October 3, and Mario Cuomo waited until the deadline for filing in the NH primary, Dec. 20, to announce he was't running. The NH deadline is Nov. 27 this year.

Atlas is even more fickle on this issue than PredictIt.

I'm sticking with yes, as I have for months.

There are so many rumors. Latest is that he'll announce before the 1st debate, but won't be there.

I love this market on PredictIt, there's been so much volatility and opportunity for profit.
