Remember that Biden has no deep or broad support among the left-liberals, so it could be easy for them to trash him now to try to show they are not totally deranged and biased (though they are). I doubt there will be much of a constituency trying to preserve his "viability" as a presidential candidate when he was never exactly viable in the first place..... he's been running on his gargantuan ego and not much else.

Agreed. He has almost nothing to fall back on.

An excellent point. The Dem frontrunners are Hillary, Obama, and Edwards. Biden is expendable.
