"I am never ready to close the door on anything," Biden said. "I am intent on reelecting Barack Obama president of the United States of America. The rest will take care of itself."

Don’t discourage him. It will be an easy win for the GOP.

Biden running for POTUS in 2016 would be AWESOME!

Obviously his winning would be a disaster, but running, that would be so fun. Seriously, if the Repubs can’t beat Slow Joe, we should disolve the party completely.
