Source: Joe Biden more likely to run in 2016 than not


Washington (CNN)—Joe Biden is much more likely to enter the 2016 presidential race than to decide against a run, a Democratic source who's been in touch with the vice president's aides and allies in the last day told CNN.

A possible plan -- if he decides to run -- currently involves Biden announcing his intentions in the first week of October, the source said.

He'd ride the media frenzy surrounding his entrance into the first Democratic debate, slated for October 13 in Las Vegas. There, he'd offer contrasts with Hillary Clinton and deliver a larger rationale for his candidacy.

Biden offers nothing and excites nobody.
