Ed Henry: Sources Expecting Biden to Announce Presidential Run

If Biden runs, he will just split Hillary's votes *Perot style* and that will benefit Bernie.

Biden and Clinton appeal to very different demographics.

Biden has little chance unless Hillary’s sleaze brings her down.

It’s a reasonable bet that it might therefore it’s a decent bet for Biden to join the race because if Hillary goes down over the email scandal Biden will be right there to take the race.

I disagree. Biden has his record and Hilary has hers. She was completely ineffective as a Senator and couldn't even finish one term. Biden was in for how many years? No one in Congress respected her while behind closed doors people had a great deal of respect for Biden. During the Obama administration Hillary and Biden frequently clashed, and while Hillary usually won, Bidens approaches are on record and with hindsight he was much more right than she was. That also gives Biden great ammunition against this administration because he has suggested paths they didn't take since day 1, which gives him a lot of room to disagree.

On top of all that, he is one of the few remaining insiders that can actually get things accomplished in Congress. Without people like Boehner, McConnell, and Biden we would have complete gridlock. They're never popular people, but the back channel deal makers are what allows government to function.

Hillary is none of that.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Biden just announce his dropping out of the Presidential race earlier this week, noting the needed focus on family and the grieving process of his late son Beau?
