  If you’re a news junkie like me, odds are you’ve seen a couple dozen stories discussing a rumor that Joe Biden is planning on stepping out of the race in a few days, citing “health reasons”. The rumor as mentioned on AssociatedContent.com: “On or about October 5, 2008, Joe Biden will announce his resignation from the race as Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate. He will cite health reasons and quietly withdraw. Hillary Clinton is poised to take his place as the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
