Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Wednesday became the first to declare his 2008 intentions, if not his candidacy, in what may well turn into a stampede of hopefuls in both parties.

"Are you going to run this time?" Don Imus asked him on MSNBC's Imus in the Morning.

"Well, I'm going to proceed as if I'm going to run," Biden said. He said he would make a "hard" decision in two years, based on whether he thinks the country is ready for him and his ideas. "I don't want to do this for the exercise," he said.

At least three other senators are proceeding as if they're going to run: this year's Democratic ticket, John Kerry and John Edwards, and Republican John McCain of Arizona. All are making or planning trips to Iowa or New Hampshire, states with early contests.

Screw Kerry. Seriously. He's not gonna make it in any other year.

Fightin' Joe Biden and Screamin' Howard Dean would make one HELL of a ticket, tho.

It's nice to see McCain is still giving it another go.

 

[Bog]

I'd vote for him.

Biden would be nice, but Dean is busy campaigning for the DNC post. I think he'll win that and hopefully bring some changes with him.

Didn't "Plagarizing" Joe Biden lose all credibility after the press caught him copping from other people's speeches?

Ha ha ha.

A 2008 race would be Biden's second try for the presidency. He dropped out of the Democratic nomination race in fall 1987 after giving a speech that contained passages borrowed without attribution from British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

I'd vote for him.

....we're on the same page. Yikes.
