Don't put it off, Joe. Avoid the last minute rush.

Will he or won’t he? GQ Magazine’s newly released profile of Vice President Joe Biden doesn’t answer That Question — will he make a play for the White House in 2016 — but it does make clear that the issue is on his mind. Literally.
“I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America,” Biden tells Jeanne Marie Laskas. “But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.”
The piece describes Biden as being “a Hillary Clinton away from the White House” — a nod to the loose Inside-the-Beltway consensus that he won’t run in 2016 if she does. And the voluble veep hints at it, too.
“The judgment I’ll make is, first of all, am I still as full of as much energy as I have now — do I feel this?” he said. “Number two, do I think I’m the best person in the position to move the ball? And, you know, we’ll see where the hell I am.”
Does “President Biden” seem far-fetched. The piece quotes Sen. John McCain, R.-Ariz., as saying it’s believable.
“Suppose the economy comes on strong. He’s bound to get credit,” McCain says. “Of course, the State of the Union speech would be the longest in history.”
“Joe Biden doesn’t have a mean bone in his body,” McCain says. “He’s unique in that he’s had some role in every major national-security crisis that his nation has faced in the last thirty-five years.”
And, McCain adds, “look at the number of times he’s been able to conclude agreements. I would say he’s been the most impactful vice president that I’ve known — certainly in modern times.”

Happy, sad, all the same to me. Just get on with it!
“Works for me, too, Joe.”
Ditto!
Me too, joe.
Make us both happy real soon... m’kay?
If he does run he can count on the support of John McCain, apparently.
Don't put it off, Joe. Avoid the last minute rush.
I kind of wish he had died without ever becoming VPOTUS.
"we'll wait"
This guy is such a dumb*ss
I was thinkin’ the same. Can he take McCain’t with him.
Joe Biden announces that he's tan, rested and ready should Hillary be a no-show in 2016.
I really hope you die happy, Plugs.
He can die happy without ever leaving the golf course at The Villages
So can we Joe, So can we...
And, McCain adds, “look at the number of times he’s been able to conclude agreements. I would say he’s been the most impactful vice president that I’ve known — certainly in modern times.”

Well you better staple down that smile real hard, chuckles.
