He has a huge ego
Hillary is damaged goods
Sanders is a fringer

I agree, he clearly demonstrates he is addicted to this lifestyle. He's not going to give it up without a fight

With just two announced major demand candidates so far he would have a good chance at being the nominee for the dems

Yes, and I hope he does. Not because I like him or anything, but imagine the hilarity of a Biden vs. Trump debate.

I think he'll run, and it would be smart if he picks Sen Warren for running-mate.
In one fell swoop he inherits the Obama vote, and Ms. Warren scoops-up the Sander's left wing + Hillary female votes, thereby bringing the entire Democratic Party on-board.
Elections are all about turnout, and if Pres Obama can whip-up the black & Hispanic vote while Sen Warren whips-up the disenfranchised youth and income-inequality vote, the rest of the Dems will come along naturaly.
Unless Secy Clinton does not acquiesce peacefully, refusing to be a team-player ...

I don't think so. Running for POTUS takes a lot out of a person. Biden has had a very hard year personally with the loss of his son. I think the commitment required from him and his family simply isn't feasible. That said, I think he would certainly give Hillary a run for her money.

Voted yes, it is looking more and more like he will run. If I had to guess it may come down to how much further Sanders is successful against Hillary, and it also very well may include how well or not so well Hillary handles things in October (dealing with Congress.) There may be a path of opportunity for Biden depending upon how much further Hillary falls.

Have a large ego is essentially a prerequisite for any politician.

I voted No. This may be all hype, but Biden and Clinton are not distinguishable in an issues based campaign. If he got into the race, he would have to attack Hilary's trust issue, which the party establishment doesn't want to discuss. This would leave the door open for Bernie, and we all know the Democratic party doesn't actually want positive changes. They like money just as much as Republicans do.

Hillary is probably about two months away from being indicted. Either that or she'll be shown to have broken national security protocols. Either one of those things will make it impossible for even a liberal Democrat to imagine that she could be elected. At that point, you'll see Joe come in. And, all things being equal, he'll probably win the election!
