Biden says he intends to run for president

Sen. Joseph Biden the Democrat Senator from Delaware (and featured in the photographs below with the LCYDs) said on Sunday that he is running for president in 2008. He did give him self till the end of this year to back out of the race if he feels that he cannot raise enough money. He ran for President before in 1988, but dropped out after "a series of disclosures that he had liberally borrowed from other politicians in his stump speeches and after questions about his law school records".

From the Post Story, Biden is quoted as saying:
Going after the nomination "is a real possibility," he said on CBS' Face the Nation.
"My intention, as I sit here now, is, as I've proceeded since last November as if I were going to run. I'm quite frankly going out, seeing whether I can gather the kind of support," Biden said.
Biden said he was taking his "game on the road, letting people know what I think."
He added, "If, in fact, I think that I have a clear shot at winning the nomination by this November or December, then I'm going to seek the nomination."

Not sure how Biden thinks he will avoid the plagerism thing that brought him down in 1988.
