Joe Biden is a good man–intelligent, even-keeled, and a man who would, I believe, have made an excellent president. Nonetheless, I’m glad he has decided not to compete for the presidency. Fifty years ago he would have had time to prepare for the run, but the American presidential race has become ridiculous in length. If you have not started your campaign at least two years before the actual election, you have waited too long.
The need to raise millions, the organizational requirements in the caucus states, and the necessity to build an organization of hundreds of thousands of volunteers all mitigated against Biden.
Biden supporters can now concentrate on either Clinton or Sanders. Either one would make a fine president.
