Is Joe Biden going to run for President? The momentum might be building…

 With only three legitimate announced Democratic candidates running for President in 2016 there is plenty of room for more and the most logical, high profile name on the list of unannounced candidates might be that of Vice President Joe Biden.

  But is he going to run? He has not given any indication one way or the other but it would seem as if a decision should be made in the near future if he hopes to have any chance. There seems to be some momentum gathering behind the “draft Joe Biden” movement in recent weeks.

  First we read stories about his family (including the late Beau Biden) and friends urging him to run and now two Barack Obama fundraisers are getting behind the effort as well.

  Here is more:

Two leading fundraisers for President Obama have pledged their support for Biden, who hasn’t taken any formal steps toward running. Last week, top Obama bundler Jon Cooper signed on to be the national finance chair of the Draft Biden 2016 PAC, an organization encouraging the vice president to enter the race for the White House. Major Obama fundraiser Shiva Sarram also joined the finance team on Wednesday.

  This seems to be a strong indication that something may be afoot, but there is more:

The Draft Biden PAC has over 100,000 signatures, teams in the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as well as volunteers in every state. While the group won’t release its fundraising numbers until the July 15 deadline, executive director William Pierce claims the cash influx exceeded all expectations.

“This is a rebirth for the VP,” Pierce said. But there have been questions as to whether Biden plans on running at all, especially following the recent death of his son Beau Biden.

  And more still:

“People I would describe as being in Biden’s inner circle are giving increasingly positive signals that VP Biden will be throwing his hat in the ring,” Cooper said. “I would have not agreed to take on this role with Draft Biden unless I thought that Biden would enter the race. Nothing’s 100 percent but certainly all signals are pointed in that direction.”

  Stay tuned, the Democratic field may be getting a little more crowded before all is said and done…
