Biden the 800th Candidate

In a wide field for the Democratic nomination for President, Joe Biden has joked that he is the 800th candidate.

Biden was speaking on ABC's "This Week" yesterday.

He admitted that the race to secure the nomination would not be easy, but people should judge him on his life story, and his record which he feels best prepares him for the job.

Biden said that those who have won Iowa in the past have usually been the ones with the most experience and most foreign policy capability. He also said that he was doing quite well in South Carolina.

Biden has looked very impressive over the past few weeks - and his stance on the war has given him plenty of media opportunities.

But it is a crowded field. And there are some good candidates in the race. However, Biden has said that if gets to stand on the same stage as them, he will do just fine.

As Biden also said, finding money to run for the nomination would be tough, and he thinks he needs about $20 million to take him to Iowa.
