As in - will he be able to have any say on forigen policy, diplomacy, etc? He seems to know a lot more than her - way more.
So will he?

He won't have any constitutional clout. It'll depend upon the relationship he would develop with Hillary (and Bill). I think both Hillary and Bill are receptive to input from knowledgeable people, but Biden will never be her first adviser - Bill will be.
It's only really been the last two presidents whose VP's had much of a say in anything, so since it's not constitutionally mandated, it'll be Joe's play.

No, There will be no clout to that ticket, that will be her 4th choice I think, the election is about winning, not foreign policy. To win the Democrats need to lock in the Southwest, and Richardson and Clark can turn over a lot of swing states, enought to win the presidency.

If he is chosen, and accepts the number two spot, you can be assured that the Clinton people feel that he has clout.

If he gets uppity with the Clinton mafia he'll get a clout in the head.

It will depend on her popularity. She may need the boost that Obama could give her but if she is doing well on her own she could use Biden. I think he would be a good Vice President.

Somehow I don't see Biden throwing in his hat to run with Hillary.
