NEW YORK — Democratic Senator Joe Biden wants you to know he is running for president. Definitely. Unequivocally. Absolutely.

"I'm the only guy who will tell you honestly what I'm doing. The others won't tell you, but I will," Biden said, wrapping up a fundraising trip to New York before heading to New Hampshire, his ninth visit in just over a year. He is also campaigned extensively through other early voting states, spending 17 days in Iowa, nine in South Carolina, and four in Nevada.

In a potentially crowded Democratic field dominated by New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama — neither of whom has formally entered the race — a Biden candidacy seems a bit of an anachronism.

But the 64-year-old Delaware lawmaker insists there has never been a better time for him to run.

Is there a more arrogant, self-serving Senator than this one?

At a quick estimate, probably at least 50 or 60 of them can give him a little competition.

Although he might not do so necessarily in his own words.

Admitted liar and thief ping...

"I'm the only guy who will tell you honestly what I'm doing. The others won't tell you, but I will," Biden said...

"The others" are too busy coming up with their own ideas...

"Frankly, I think I'm more qualified than other candidates..."

Clearly that was meant as an attack on Obama, but he couldn't come right out and state it unequivocally...

Competition is tough for that title! Offhand I would also nominate Kerry, Dodd, Spector, Schumer, Clinton, Leahy, and Reid!

Anachronism? It's a joke! Methinks Joe makes a run in hopes of at least snaring Secretry of State in a Democratic Admin.

Whenever Biden speaks, it's blah, blah, blah and I hear Carly Simon in my head singing her hit song from 1972, "You're So Vain".

It's difficult to imagine how it's possible to be vacuous and filled with hot air at the same time, but Biden manages both.
