Joe Biden is running for the Democratic nomination, and why shouldn’t he?
It is basically official. Biden will be the straight-talking, blue collar, non-Clinton alternative to Ms. Clinton. So what if he is polling at 12% to Clinton's 72%? He has always wanted to be the President of the United States and you have 0% chance of making the shots you don't take.
Would he be a good President? Well, what's your criteria? He would be better than any of the Republican alternatives, to be sure. Would he be better than Hilary Clinton? I guess we'll be able to hear him make the case for why he would. In the process I only hope that he doesn't load up the GOP with a lot of ammunition to use against her if (when?) he falls short.
