'Vice President Joe Biden is not running for president.'


Since the announcement by Vice President Joseph Biden that he is not running for President, the Democratic party has perhaps taken a different look and the gap which the decision may have opened does not seem important.

How strange that the majority of Democratic saw the Vice President differently, how different? is how he would likely fit into the return of Hilary Clinton to seek one mandate she longs for.


Emily Atkin writing back from Washington describes the moment that "Standing in the Rose Garden at the White House on Wednesday, flanked by his wife Jill Biden and President Obama, the vice president cited lingering grief over the his son Beau, who died of brain cancer this past May. As he moved through the grieving process, he said, the window had closed on “mounting a realistic campaign for president.”


There is hardly anything to celebrate about Biden's decision but in the interest of argument his chances of winning are not articles for public press. This does not mean he is not capable and seem to suggest that he is unaware of his own popularity. 

In his brief announcement he backs Obama administrative records, perhaps a coy that his administration gave women a chance, vouchsafe that it was worthy to part with such legacy. 

“Our nation will be making a tragic mistake if we walk away or attempt to undo the Obama legacy,” That the “...American people have worked too hard, and we have have come too far for that.” (Joe Biden) - does not mean that he is creating a path for a formidable political machine, but he is practical that his chances are also slim.

It does not mean that Biden is political off the radar, perhaps a searching interest in a year of reflection nudges him and his advisers to throw-in a Presidential tower.

For a fact and perhaps for reasons not necessarily good for the press, not all politicians of interest enjoy spot light, which does not mean that Biden is far and above any hint of publicity stunt.

Perhaps the expectations of a White House is written in his character and perhaps in his interest. But there are others running. His political numerical advantage may have to pose against Obama legacy which was necessary to prove himself.

To a fine degree that his candidacy did not really appeal until the announcement, we could suggest that the decision was calculated.

If Biden fondled any hopes of a presidential ticket his sit tight position is not for a son or others, he is perhaps impressed or unimpressed by early campaigning which the uncertainty of early announcement has not been fully known.
