Biden keeps his name in the game for 2016
None
Joe Biden is keeping his name at the top of likely Democratic contenders for the 2016 presidential election, even while the prime spot seems to have been claimed by former Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton.
As a two-term sitting vice president, Senate veteran and Democratic Party luminary, Biden in any other year would have the right of first refusal for the Democratic nomination. This time, though, Biden's prospects are irrefutably colored by Clinton, who a growing number of Democratic groups are hyping as President Barack Obama's heir apparent. (AP)
