I leaned yes all summer, but, I can't see him entering without participating in the first debate.
He'll make his decision "in the second half of October." The first debate is Oct. 28, and he's already met the polling standard. If he decides to jump him, he'll be at that debate.
I had been leaning no, but Hillary's incredibly weak fundraising numbers (she was almost beaten by a Socialist, for Christ's sake) should be tempting to old Joe. I voted yes, though I think the odds are about 50-50.
EDIT: I hadn't seen that CNN story. If that's true then yeah, that casts a different light on it. But just the other day, the story was that his deadline was mid October. The CNN story, like all bullsh**t "journalism" quotes "unnamed sources," so it could definitely be BS. We'll see.
