Joe Biden - Running For President

Joe Biden has skipped the exploratory committee, and launched an all out bid for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

Biden of Delaware, who was unsuccessful in his campaign for the nomination in 1988, has been prominent as a Democrat, particularly in the last few weeks as Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Biden will shortly be releasing a video on his website, http://www.joebiden.com/

As far as experience goes, Biden is hard to beat. He has been a Senator since 1973, and as well as the Foreign Relations Committee, is a former chair of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.

Biden has said that he would need to raise $20 million to be competitive in the nomination campaign. Thus far, he has $3million in his account.

Having already been to New Hampshire nearly 10 times in the last 2 years, Biden plans to travel there again next week. Expect a trip to Iowa in the near future as well.

If you have the time, check out the C-SPAN interview with Biden on his website - it's a frank discussion with the real Biden. If Democrat voters get a glimpse of this side of Biden, he will be a serious chance.
