Joseph Biden, a Senator, I have always liked, experienced a serious stumble this week as he was announcing his candidacy. I suspect he may be able to recover, but you never know.
There have been other dropouts and announcements this week. As far as I can tell, this is the lineup as of today:
Declared, or about to declare Democrat —
Senator Hillary Clinton
Ex-Vice-President and Ex-Senator Albert Gore
Sen. Barack Hussein Obama
Ex-Senator John Edwards
The Reverend Al Sharpton (he's making noises)
Senator Joe Biden, Delaware
Gov. Bill Richardson, New Mexico
Gov. Tom Vilsack, Iowa
Senator Christopher Dodd, Connecticut
Ex-General Wesley Clark
Ex-Governor Mark Warner, Virginia
Democratic dropouts —
Senator Evan Bayh, Indiana
Senator John Kerry, Massachusetts
Declared or about to declare Republican —
Governor Mike Huckabee, Arkansas
ExGovernor George Pataki, New York
Ex-Governor Mitt Romney
Ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani
Senator John McCain, Arizona
Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas
Sen. Chuck Hagel, Nebraska
Ex-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich
Republican Dropouts—
Ex-Senator George Allen
Ex-Senator Rick Santorum
The Dingbat Party —
Congressman and Ex-mayor Dennis J. Kucinich - Kuchinich recently "declared."
"Crusader" Ralph J. Nader - He's always a threat, but most folks have long since written him off as the dingbat who put George W. Bush into office in the first place, while acting as a spoiler in the ill-fated 200 Presidential election.
