Consider:
Biden has the taint of plagiarism hanging over his head from his prior presidential run, where he repeated almost word from word a speech from a British politician.
Even on relaxed senatorial standards, Biden is considered long-winded. During last year's Samuel Alito confirmation hearing, Biden asked Alito just five questions, then spent almost all of his allotted thirty minutes giving a ponderous speech.
Then there is this comment about Indian-Americans made last year by Biden:
"I've had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking," Biden said.
Here's some trivia: Former Commerce Secretary William Daley headed Gore's 2000 campaign. The first presidential campaign he worked on was Biden's abortive 1988 attempt. Don't look for a reunion for Daley and Biden. He's moved up and on the Obama team.
