Hi -- It just hit me like a frying pay upside my head that IF Joe is going to run,

and all the "experts" have been positing he would certainly do it before the first debate, right? Well yes, I know the first debate is next Tuesday, but My God -- IT'S NEXT TUESDAY!!!!!!! Today is Friday!!!!! Eek!

So do you think he'll announce??

My sense (or my "I think I know Joe" part of my brain) is thinking even if he doesn't announce yes/participate, he'll still say he's now ready to decide. I just think this desire would be so hard for him to let go.

What say you, fellow Bidenites??

get a sense of who I best aligned with. AND, since everybody's first choice isn't going to get the nomination, it helps to know who you DO want to support as "runner up".

be the first time many would actually get a chance to listen to him on an even playing field. I can understand why it's difficult to decide -- not only because of his personal considerations, but also because he's the VPOTUS. I was thinking -- what if he's against TPP, he HAS to say he's for it because he's still a representative of POTUS.
