Joe Biden 2008?
"Biden wants to run for president in '08," Associated Press, 20 June 2005, http://www.suntimes.com/output/elect/cst-nws-biden20.html.
More competition for Tom Daschle in his dream of becoming the Democrat Presidential Nominee...
Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) said Sunday he intends to run for president in 2008.
But Biden, who also sought the nomination in 1988, said he would give himself until the end of this year to determine if he really can raise enough money and attract enough support.
Going after the nomination ''is a real possibility,'' he said on CBS' ''Face the Nation.''
''My intention, as I sit here now, is, as I've proceeded since last November as if I were going to run. I'm quite frankly going out, seeing whether I can gather the kind of support,'' Biden said.
Biden dropped out of the 1988 presidential race after disclosures that he had borrowed from other politicians in his stump speeches and after questions about his law school records.
The grumpy new President?

Anders,
I want to agree with you. However, Joe Lieberman at least had a coherent and well known domestic and foreign policy, while Biden seems more like a long-time old-pro. He reminds me of John Kerry more than Joe Lieberman.
