Biden Says He Is Not Running for President 
-------------------------------------------


 
Vice President Joe Biden is not running for president. Ending months of
speculation, Biden said he and his family had been coping with the death
of his son and had run out of time to mount a campaign. Standing beside
his wife, Jill Biden, and President Obama in the Rose Garden, Biden
delivered what many saw as the speech he would have used to launch his
campaign.

Vice President Joe Biden: "I believe that President Obama has led this
nation from crisis to recovery, and we're now on the cusp of resurgence.
I'm proud to have played a part in that. This party, our nation, will be
making a tragic mistake if we walk away or attempt to undo the Obama
legacy."
