It would seem a mistake for Biden to wait so long to declare himself.

I have been waiting. But now, I think, he has missed the window.

The trick would have been to let Hillary get hurt in the runup to the primaries and then step in as the guardian angel. Or something.

Hillary Clinton Debate Performance Chills Biden Movement

Even I would not think of tarnishing what was, apparently, a total win for Ms. Clinton. Articulate, clear, forceful. The ideal candidate for her party. An elder stateswoman.

Who has the energy and vitality to win. Look at that smile. Watch her work the crowd. See her bump Bernie around.

No room for Joe in this mixup it would seem.

But time is still on his side.

Perhaps he knows himself well enough and is making the right moves for himself.

He is of an age, as I am, an I can attest to a real diminishing of one's taste for battle. That is why they put old Generals in their own tent way back from the action.

And in the end, this is the NYTimes headline. An attention getter and an opinion swayer. This cannot be too great for the Biden fans. What Joe thinks is unknown. He is still holding his own council.
