One thing you reasonably can take from Vice President Joe Biden’s interview on the Stephen Colbert late show last night is this: He’s not running for president. He didn’t say that in exactly those words, but he said again, if anything even more clearly, that when you run for president you have to give it everything that’s in you, and “I’d be lying if I said that I knew I was there. I’m being completely honest. Nobody has a right in my view to seek that office unless they’re willing to give it 110 percent of who they are.”
In some ways, maybe he wishes he were there. He’s run for the office, after all. But he’s right. If you aren’t there, fully and completely into it, you shouldn’t do it. – rs
