6. My guess is that what he is really hoping for is Vice President.

4. There will surely be more ... it's early yet

Joe Biden, anyone? Chris Dodd? Dunkin' Hunter?

Bake

8. The sooner Biden gets out the better

the man is a joke.

5. Well, what do you expect when you don't place higher than fourth in your own homestate in the polls

Edwards, Clinton and Obama are all ahead of him in Iowa polls. If somebody can't even win their home state in a caucus or primary especially when they have been governor that is not a good sign for their odds for the nomination.

7. One down, many more to go....

It's going to be a very long year and a half!!

9. He won't be missed.

He's chairman of the DLC, which made me already dislike him. This just makes more room in the race for real progressives.

10. yep

Gotta say he didn't bring much to the table - had lukewarm support in Iowa at best, and pretty much nothing anywhere else. Almost 100% of us here at DU won't miss him.
