Action News Reporter john rawlins is camped out outside the biden home in greenville, delaware. John, fare to say that nobody is more eager to find out than one Hillary Clinton . Reporter i think thats very fair to say. Entry by mr. Biden would change the landscape no doubt about it.

The Vice President just visiting events where his grandchildren were participating. Crews remain encamped across from the biden home awaiting a decision and in las vegas a plastic wrapped podium was on stand by should biden break his silence and join the democratic debate tomorrow night. Many fans of the plane spoken 72yearold wished he would run but understand if he doesnt. If joe biden should he run to me is no and i think of it more from a personal standpoint. I just dont know they has the emotional stamina any more to put up with what a president has to put up with. Reporter all through this process biden signaled hes not sure if he has the stuff to mount a bid in the wake of the death of his son, beau earlier this year. Former cnn reporter expects theres more to the no go. Hillary clintons poll numbers. Earlier this year she has been faltering. She still has problems but remains the frontrunner. If Hillary Clinton had fallen apart as a candidate in the spring or over the summer, i think joe biden could have stepped in, taken over the mantle as the democratic frontrunner quite easily. I think if this supporters of mrs. Clintons would have flocked to biden. At this point the Clinton Campaign has not imploded. Reporter so, we wait for the biden camp to make a decision and to announce it. If it is yes, he is going get into the campaign, the consensus is hes going have to work fast to example in fact to raise the kind of big money hes going the need and assemble the team he needs to make a viable shot at trying to get the nomination from the democratic party.
