Joe Biden for President?

I keep hearing that Joseph Biden is a major contender for the presidency on the Democratic Party side. I'd really like to hear someone explain why that is. He's from a small state, he tried running for president before and it didn't pan out, and he's been made fun of for pompous bloviating. So what's the attraction?

Biden is one of the most respected voices in the Senate on foreign policy and that may be one of the things he is banking on. He was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at age 29 (he turned 30 before he took office) so he has lots of experience in public office. I had the opportunity to see Senator Biden speak last week. He had some intelligent points, but I don't know that he will fare well in a Presidential race.

Personally, I'd like to see Chuck Hagel run.
