Joe Biden: Will Seek Presidency

Plagiarizing Joe Biden, Democrat Senator from Delaware will seek the Presidency. This announcement on CBS’s Face the Nation is almost two decades after he dropped out of the presidential race amid charges he plagiarized a British politician’s speech.

Biden campaigned for the 1988 Democratic nomination but withdrew early in the race after charges he plagiarized parts of a speech by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock and exaggerated his academic record.

My intention now is to seek the nomination,” Biden, of Delaware, said on CBS television’s “Face the Nation.” He said he would explore his support and decide by the end of this year — a sign the race may get off to an early and competitive start.

“If in fact I think I have a clear shot at winning the nomination, by this November or December, then I’m going to seek the nomination,” he said.

Biden is the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a frequent critic of
President Bush’s Iraq policy.

Have at him Hillary!
