"There's plenty of time to think about 2016. We've got to get this economy working. If three years from now the economy is not working, it's not going to be worth doing much. This is all about making Barack an incredibly successful second-term president. That's my focus."
-- Vice President Joe Biden, quoted by the Wilmington News Journal, on whether he'll run for president in 2016.

(11,605 posts)I think the new model of having a VP be an older, experienced hand works better than having a VP who is next in line.
I know there has been some talk of Biden running in 2016 but I don't think he will. As much as I like him, he will be too old by then...there are some signs already that he is having some senior moments.
