Less than 12 hours after his boss captured the nation's attention with an energetic State of the Union address, Vice President Joe Biden grabbed the spotlight Wednesday morning to promote his chances to grab the top job in 2016. Despite near-universal recognition that the Democratic presidential nomination is Hillary Clinton's to lose, Biden told ABC News host George Stephanopolous that the race is 'wide open.' And he might challenge her, he said on 'Good Morning America.' 'Yes,' the vice president chuckled, 'there's a chance, but I haven't made my mind up about that.'
