Outspoken Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware confirmed Wednesday that he is seriously testing the waters for a 2008 presidential run -- even as he acknowledged that Sen. Hillary Clinton would be "the overwhelming, prohibitive favorite'' to become the nominee of his party.
"I'm sounding it out,'' said Biden, 62, during an interview with The Chronicle editorial board. "In all my career, there's more at stake than any time since I've been a senator ... (and) I have some pretty clear ideas about what I think should be done.''

On Iraq, Biden warned that there is a chance that "civil war" may break out.

Biden also addressed the steroids furor that has engulfed baseball over the past year... Biden had been openly critical of the revised drug-testing plan baseball announced last month..."I worry about is what (steroids) does to the ethics of this country''

On another issue, Biden said there "should be, but there won't be'' a congressional investigation into the revelation that a White House press pass was given to a correspondent named Jeff Gannon

Great platform.
Why Not Biden, Al Sharpton ran for nomination in the Democratic Party for President.
'ol hair plugs Biden is such an arrogant little prick, I doubt that the dems can even stand the guy.
Screw "Plugs" Biden.
Joe Biden,
Master of the Obvious
Wasn't he the one who was copying some British guy's speeches back in '88?
Yes. Fake speech, fake hair.
Don't tell me, let me guess----he's gonna be on ALL of the chat shows this weekend, right??
His grin/grimace scares me.
No thanks.
If Biden really said that, I think he would make the BEST Democratic candidate for President.
Because he would be on big target.
Yes that is why he dropped out of the race then.Not the worst thing anybody has ever done especially now compared to Clinton.
Just interesting that no mention was made of it in the article.Compare with the unrelenting fishing expedition that Gov and now President Bush has undergone.
A nation awakens from its stupor to cry out to Neil Kinnock, uh, Joe Biden to come lead us out of darkness...and then falls back to sleep...zzzzz...
LMAO...sounds this out Joey...
Labour Party - Kinnock - in your own words lol.
Joe Biden is a joke.........and an embarrassment to all right thinking people of the state of Delaware....which says alot about how many are still there, considering he still gets elected.
"Feisty" instead of, say, "grating."
No media bias here.
Biden is very much a gun grabber - no matter how much he tries to pussy-foot around it.
There is nothing feisty about Biden.......when it comes to being a bloviator he makes Bill O'Reilly look realistic.
The DUmmies are going crazy about this since Biden said earlier that there SHOULD be an investigation. I love to watch the libs eat their own!!
