still with us, jim warren and laura barron-lopez. laura, let me start with you.here has been some skepticism just because how long this had been dragged out on biden's part that he was getting cold feet, then you add in the week of headlines he's endured. what else would bring him for scranton, pennsylvania, to his childhood block with a camera crew? >> i think it's safe to assume that biden is going to jump in. we also saw the video earlier this week where he addressed the allegations against himself. we heard him stumble before where he's pretty much alluding to his presidential run. biden has not addressed them head on in a way a lot of these women want him to. we have to see whether or not this continues and whether he's able to survive this once he finally jumps in the race. >> jim, we see the polling. he would be the front-runner. about 30% right now. strong, favorable rating with democrats. a lot of folks who liked obama like him as well. big field. how do you think he would stack up if he joins that field? >> i think it's going to be difficult. i can make
