For quite a while now Biden has been suggesting that it is likely he will run for President in '08. I didn't see the Maher show, but if he did use the show to take a step closer to issuing an official announcement, it should not surprise anyone.

Speaking as one who also supported taking Saddam out, but is appalled at how badly it has been handled, I have a lot of common ground with Biden. I think he sees the world clearly, and has the smarts to move this country in a better direction. Yeah, he's got bad hair, and isn't particularly good looking; unfortunately, that stuff matters, more so now than ever before. But I think he'd be a good choice.
