Biden says presidential decision will come next summer
Source: CNN
Vice President Joe Biden joked this week that being able to drive his Corvette – is one good reason not to run. But, when asked to give another good reason not to run, Biden responded simply.
“I can’t.”
“There may be reasons I don't run, but there's no obvious reason for me why I think I should not run,” he said in the interview with Kate Bolduan on CNN’s “New Day.”
Biden went on to say he would make a decision “realistically, a year this summer.”

"So, where does this all leave Biden should he jump into his own election in a little over a year?
Far behind front-runner Hillary Clinton.
A recent Washington Post/ABC poll has the Vice President at a distant second to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – who voters chose 73% to his 12%."
In 2008 he couldn't even surpass 1% of the votes and dropped out after IA. There are people who are capable and good, but who are not destined to be at the top of the ticket. Biden is one of them.
He's an elderly guy who has been around DC since forever. Besides, Obama and Hillary were a hair apart. It's not like he won the nomination by a country mile. It took the super delegates to push him over the threshold. The comparison to 2008 is inane.
Having said that, I like Biden a lot. He's a great guy, but that doesn't mean that I think that he should run for president. If it isn't Hillary, it'll be someone newer to the national scene and younger than Biden.
He'll decide in 2015.
