Did Biden announce his intent to run in 2008 first time on

[question everything]

Bill Maher tonight? Or is this a common knowledge?

Was news to me..

[question everything]

4. Common knowledge, despite what Sammons spouted. nt

[AX10]

6. Yes he did.

[MADem]

8. Very common knowledge, every venue he's on, he mentions it
