Possible '08 Contender Biden Writing Book

NEW YORK - Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record), the Delaware Democrat who has already expressed interest in running for president in 2008, has taken another step that signals a White House candidacy: He's writing a book.

"Biden, in writing his first book, will tell the story of his remarkable 30-year career in the United States Senate — from journeyman days as a 29-year old Senator too young to be sworn in, to his rise to become one of the most powerful Democrats," publisher Random House said Thursday in a statement.

Biden's planned book follows in the tradition of countless presidential candidates, from fellow senators John Kerry and John Edwards to the current President Bush. His memoir, still untitled, is tentatively scheduled to come out in 2007.

Biden announced last month that he would consider seeking the 2008 nomination, his possible competitors including Edwards and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. He dropped out of the 1988 presidential race after a series of disclosures that he had liberally borrowed from other politicians in his stump speeches and after questions about his law school records.

ROTFLOL! One charge of plagiarism wasn't enough?

I doubt he is capable of original thought.

I wouldn't think that a known plagarist would have the nerve to "write" a book as a way to help his candidacy for POTUS...

These dems sure know how to shoot themselves in the foot, don't they?

Kerry walks out at Dem. Convention "reporting for duty", when he KNOWS his Vietnam service and anti-war actions afterward was the WORST part of his resume, but he HIGHLIGHTS IT!! What a maroon...

NOW, Biden is doing the same thing!

That would be like Kennedy announcing his candidacy standing on the Chappaquiddik Bridge!!!

No Doubt.

Although it all does seems to mesh in with the MSM treatment of Hillary now being the ultimate goodess who will save helpless America from the evil, stupid, greedy and feckless Republicans.

I think that he's angling for VP.
