I don't know why, but I doubt very much that he would accept being VP. He will have much more power and visibility as chair of Foreign Relations. And, I think, he'll also sit on Judiciary. He does talk on and on sometimes, but he can also be eloquent and articulate at others. As for his story--he was one of the youngest people ever to be elected to the Senate (I think he was barely eligible at 35, but am not certain). And he has a fair bit of tragedy, losing his wife and at least one child in an auto accident back in the 80s. He certainly has a better grasp of foreign policy than anyone running. And probably better than anyone in Congress. He's been around the block.

re: "I wonder why Biden doesn't poll better? I think the plagiarism issue from years ago continues to haunt him. The public tends to pigeonhole public figures, making him forever Biden the Cheater in their collective minds. IMHO.
