no way was he going to run, that his family was against it, and now this conflicting "source".

They keep referring to Beau asking him on his death bed to run -- WHO said that? Joe? Jill? A REAL insider, or is this just something that's out there and picked up steam -- do you know? I haven't heard Joe mention that and the only person I've seen really speak to him about running (Colbert) didn't bring that up, either. So don't know if that's fact or fiction.

I have mixed feelings about him running, too. But IF Beau did make the request and if he runs and loses, at least he won't feel guilty for NOT doing it for Beau.

It just might help him heal, too -- who knows? I would HATE to see him lose again.

I'm getting off DU for now -- I've spent my time here today trying to counter the "Biden is the same as Hillary" statements. It's par for the course for Republicans to just believe what they hear, I thought Dems were smarter.
