will he or won't he run for president. "the washington post" jumped the gun last night, accidental headline, biden to launch presidential campaign. not so fast. it came down but our new abc news/"washington post" poll is out right now and might give biden supporters pause. it strongs a strong move from hillary clinton after that debate, sim slippage or biden and abc's jonathan karl has all the latest. jon. >> reporter: hillary clinton got a big boost coming out of that debate but it hasn't stopped the frenzy of speculation about whether or not joe biden will jump into the race. >> man, i do enjoy it. how are you? >> reporter: wasn't quite a campaign speech but joe biden spoke passionately about tackling the threat of climate change. >> what are we doing? >> reporter: the question remain, what is biden doing? a source involved with biden's deliberations on whether to run for president tells abc news the vice president has not made a decision yet. he is busy calling supporters

but some in biden's circle now believe he may wait another week before announcing his plans. well, biden is still mum on 2016, he may be testing out some potential campaign lines. >> i'm not one of these guy, you know, let's go after the rich and the powerful and they're the problem. they're not a problem. >> reporter: is that a swipe at bernie sanders' campaign against billionaires or listen to this one. >> i don't condoleezza rice sider republicans enemies. their friends. is that a subtle shot at hillary clinton. here's what she said. >> reporter: >> in addition to the nra, the health insurance companies, the drug company, the iranians, probably the republicans. >> reporter: but after clinton's strong performance at the first democratic debate, voters are split on whether biden should run. 47% of democrats say they want biden to get in the race, while 49% say he should stay out. one biden confidant acknowledged the odds are against him

no campaign organization. as for that washington, d.c. headline that briefly hit the paper's headline -- website, the reporter who wrote it, paul kayna, wants everybody to know he had also prepared a biden is not running story, as well. >> i'm sure he has. okay. thanks, jon. meanwhile, you know, biden and his team say he's not paying attention to the polls as he makes this decision. no decision yet from the vice president but that new poll we have does show his position has weakened over the last month. >> reporter: it's dramatic. take a look now. this is where the race was a month ago. hillary clinton at 42%. now these up to over 50%. has a 31-point lead, a huge boost coming out of that debate. leaving some of his supporters to think he's probably waited too long to do this. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. >> all right there, george. now to oscar pistorius, out of prison this morning and under house arrest after less than a

they're trying to overturn that verdict, get a murder conviction enstated and that means he could get back in prison for as much as 15 year, meanwhile, however, part of his conditions of holding hear he will be able to leave this home to go to church and to work and his work is track and field, so it's possible that we will see oscar pistorius back on the track soon. >> we will be watching for that. okay, terry, thanks very much. we'll turn to the hunt for a brazen hacker who launched a cyberattack against america's top spy and the head of homeland security. he's been bragging about it online releasing private information overnight. abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking the case, good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. overnight this allegedly young hacker began releasing what he claims is private information from some of the nation's top intelligence officials. the hacker who claims he's a high school teenager angry about the plight of palestinians posted on twitter the names of what he says are the social security numbers of a who's who

for example, i had a seizure. i was attacked. those are defenses where you say, look, it wasn't my fault that something that i did in the car ended up hurting someone. the smieder or wasp defense isn't going to work and in particular because of what he says -- ask you about. he says this guy was doing something illegal. >> it's not just that but immediately after the incident, he's basically saying that he's not sorry about what happened. he's talking about people doing wheelies, et cetera. he's clearly got animus. if i was this guy, i would definitely try and cut a deal. you're talking about serious crimes here. >> he's being charged with two weapon. >> up to 2 to 20 years behind bars is the sentence for this kind of crime. if i were him i would drop the spider defense, drop the wasp defense and instead try and get in there with the prosecutors deal. offer me some sort of lesser conviction here, because,

remember, he doesn't even have to have intentionally did it. he just has to have been reckless in doing it. that makes it a really tough defense for him in this case. >> free legal advice from dan abrams. >> yeah. this guy is going to need some help. >> okay, dan, thanks very much. coming up, that alleged sex scandal rocking the university of louisville basketball's team. the woman at the center speaking it out and how it unfolded for years. >> one day they were saying -- rdoes your makeup remover take it all off? every kiss-proof, cry-proof, stay-proof look? neutrogena makeup remover does.

will to help make sure we're getting the best care. the author leslie michelson is here and also joined by 9 director of the leukemia program at the presbyterian medical center, also happens to be my doctor, as well, dr. gail roboz and thanks for putting it on my radar, gail. i'm telling you, i know you're interviewed for it. leslie, you have worked in the health care industry and you have found that there are many things that can help people and you put it all here in the book and i think people will be surprised by the number of medical errors that are out aware of. >> yeah, it's a huge problem, robin. preventable medical error is the third leading cause of death in the united states. right behind heart disease and cancer. we lose 400,000 americans each and every year to preventible error. >> no one ever talks about that? and the reason they don't it happens quietly. a woman succumbed to pneumonia but they don't tell you about.

there are no crash site. no sirens. >> and you want to help put an end to that and, gail, you talked about it and the reason you reached out, everybody should read this. doesn't matter where you are, if you're well or not this is a book for you why. >> i can't think of who wouldn't benefit from reading this. you don't have to be a patient and you don't have to be sick. it's for patient, family members. it's for well people trying to doctor. it's for doctors to read and take a look and try to figure out what the patient as a consumer and as a self-advocate needs to get from the doctor. >> it tells you what kind of vitamins you should take and gets down to the basics in all levels like that but you really start and this is so true with the quarterback, the primary care physician, leslie. you talk about over and over that that is key in finding that person. how do -- why is it so important and how do you find the right one? >> absolutely. your primary care physician should be the quarterback of your health care delivery system. that's the person who should listen to your symptoms, help you find the right experts when

you need them and become your partner in wellness. helping you manage your cholesterol, your weight, your blood pressure so you live a longer life. >> how do you find that. >> three straightforward steps and i talk about them. the first is take out a piece of paper, make a list of the things that are most important to you. is it the insurance coverage, the location, is it the hours they have, the hospital they admit to. second, talk to friends, relatives, neighbors and your physicians, see who they use, see who they think. and then, third, make an appointment. do a consultation. interview the physician, just the way you would every other important professional in your life. >> i mean when you're going to buy a car you go to all these different dealerships and try to get the best deal and ask friends and that. buying a home you want to be in a good school district yet when it comes to our health care we don't take those statement precautions. we have said over and over in the show, ask your doctor questions. what is the numbering one question we should ask when looking for a doctor, any kind of way?

you've seen me, you've read my records, you know my story, what is your plan for me? and see what the answer is to that question. what do we do now? what is your plan for me? what is my action, what do i have to do? who do i have to see? what do i have to eat? do i need a specialist. what's my plan. >> talking about a specialist. you know both -- i know there's some people at home saying this all sounds well and fine but you know what, i can't afford that. i can't afford to find a specialist. there are resources, aren't there, leslie? >> first of all the best medical care doesn't cost anymore. most live near major cities and every major city there is an academic medical center that takes all kinds of insurance coverage. one of the secrets of that health care, it doesn't cost more to get the very best. and there's terrific resources to find the best experts like dr. roboz. the first is a website called expert expertscape.com where they've organize the medical literature.

you live in and instantaneously you'll get the identities of the physicians and the hospitals who have done the best work. the second is, all the major hospitals now have terrific websites that list the specialties of their physicians and, third, we're a very generous society. we have philanthropies for every single disease and each of those disease specific philanthropies has resources and materials to help patients that have been diagnosed with it. all these resources are free for everyone. important. i know you've been looking at me because i had my -- i know i need to come in and get my flu shot as my doctor right now and get that that. thank you very much. leslie and gail. so vital and again you don't have to be sick to be able to get something out of this book. i'll come in and see you real soon, gail. thank you, leslie. available now. we'll go back outside to ginger. >> that's a good reminder.
