reading through Richard Ben Cramer's endless What It Takes, I think the best parts are of Joe, in the middle of a desultory prez campaign in '87, suddenly remembers he's head of the Judiciary Committee and starts to pore through constitutional law for the sake of parrying Borkborkbork.

The circle is complete

Looming over it all is the question of whether Biden will run in 2016. “He’s in a predicament. It’s so big, it’s almost literary,” a member of Obama’s inner circle told me, shortly after a Washington Post/ABC poll showed Clinton leading Biden by an epic 73 to 12 percent, the widest margin ever recorded for a presidential frontrunner. “Never in his entire life has this man been better positioned to get the thing he most wants: the presidency. He’s climbed almost all the way to the top. And guess what? Somebody moved the ladder. How would you deal with that?”

what did americans think about that new yorker article about him

It went at great lengths to prove he was a Serious Man.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. found himself presiding alone over the Old Senate Chamber, jovially posing for photos alongside the recently elected senators and their families with the panache of a game-show host.

He came ready with quips for every grandchild (“This is boring, boring, boring!” he said to one toddler on the verge of tears) and for each of his colleagues.

To Senator Thad Cochran, Republican of Mississippi: “Thaddeus — the best guy in the United States Senate!”

And to Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, who thanked him for swearing in all the senators: “Easy to swear at you!”

At one point, the vice president grew so excited that a small white mint flew from his mouth and onto the deep red carpet.

Mr. Biden was at his most sincere and enthusiastic with the women at hand — the granddaughters and daughters and mothers and wives and sisters (“Sis!”). He caressed their cheeks with both hands; wrapped them in bear hugs, with a firm hand on their backs; kissed them dangerously close to the lips; and nuzzled their faces.

"Most sincere and enthusiastic" huh?

So he's acting silly with a baby. So what?

Beau Biden dead of brain cancer.

Mr. Biden is not ready to talk about the future and did not respond to a request for an interview. But he is seen in a different light for the moment. Wherever he goes these days, he receives condolences. Indeed, Mr. Biden’s grief has been so public, so human, in a way not seen in a sitting president or vice president in many years, that it has struck a nerve in Washington and beyond.

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Republican presidential candidate, choked up while talking to a video crew from the Huffington Post about Mr. Biden. “I called him after Beau died, and he basically said, ‘Well, Beau was my soul,’ ” Mr. Graham said with tears in his eyes.

When Mr. Graham retired from the Air Force Reserve, he noted, Mr. Biden made a point of attending the ceremony. “He’s the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics,” Mr. Graham said. “He is as good a man as God ever created. And we don’t agree on much, but I think he’s been dealt a really gut blow.”

iirc biden has been the good angel in obama's ear (opposite hilary) on a few key issues, not saying he'll be great but if i had to choose i'd take him

An oasis of clarity in a world of blurry people. Vote for Joe.

"While Biden has shifted on some drug issues, he remains a staunch defender of his record on crime, even as Bill and Hillary Clinton have expressed their regret for the consequences of the 1994 crime bill and other anti-drug policies.

Joe Biden, in other words, is the Democratic face of the drug war."
