I'd say it's still a possibility, but not a slam dunk by any means.

Personally, Biden's down near the bottom of my choices for nominee right now, unless he were to get up there and seriously renounce some aspects of his past that give me major misgivings, like his status as architect of and apologist for the drug war.

I have respect for Vice President Biden, I have sympathy for his recent personal loss, I think he's done a fine job as veep- but I don't see supporting an enthusiastic drug warrior for the nomination, not in 2016.
