BREAKING NEWS: JOE SAYS NO Biden announces he will not run for president in 2016
Fox News ^ | October 21, 2015 | Fox News

Vice President Biden announced Wednesday that he will not run for president, ending months of feverish speculation over his 2016 plans and likely settling the Democratic field.

Speaking in the Rose Garden alongside his wife Jill and President Obama, Biden said the window of opportunity to mount a viable campaign "has closed." He has been weighing a decision since summer, but cautioned all along that he and his family were grieving over the loss of his son Beau Biden -- and said Wednesday he knew that process could outlast the window for making a decision.

"Unfortunately I believe we're out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination," Biden said.

Unfortunately, it appears as though the deck is slowly being cleared for Shrillary.

An additional drawback to this will be all of those Dims crossing over in open primaries and picking another weak GOPe candidate to run against since they won't have to participate in their own primary on the Dim side.

Biden simply doesn’t want to add his name to the list of dead people who stood between the Clinton’s and what they wanted. And there is nothing this b*tch has wanted more. All the years of putting up with Bubba and all the corruption have all led to this. Biden would have denied her the chance and there is no way in hell they wouldn’t find a way to get rid of him.. Biden was simply choosing to live.

Biden walked a very tight rope with that speech. Biden’s reason for not running had to do with logistics, (ie ran out of time). Had he said he was tired, or had no desire, it would be very difficult to ride in on the white horse to save the dem party when Hillary goes down. In addition, when he does ride in to save the dem party, there will be no bad blood between he and Hillary and he should easily win the Hillary-bots.

Good points. Biden meets with Obama and then announces he won't run. I think the key reason is based on the outcome of the Obama meeting. Could be Obama says Hillary won't be indicted .. thus why bother running. Or Obama says Hillary WILL be indicted so why announce now .. just wait. Or could be that Biden was not able to get Obama's endorsement. Lots of possibilities.
