Memoli November 6, 2012, 6:05 a.m. Tuesday marked the eighth time that the former Delaware senator cast a ballot for himself in a statewide election here. Asked if it was also the last, Biden grinned and responded: "I don't think so." Biden, 69, has not ruled out running for president in 2016. The vice president arrived to vote just a few minutes after the polls opened in Delaware, joined by some of his family, including his wife Jill and son Beau. Biden said he was feeling good about the outcome Tuesday, and encouraged Americans to exercise their right to vote. "And people who are standing in line in a lot of places, I encourage you to stand in line as long as you have to," he added. Democrats are counting on a massive turnout operation in swing states to carry them to victory. Biden had just a roughly 11-minute wait to take his turn. A poll worker apologized that he had to stand in line, but he brushed it off. "I offered him my spot!" a woman waiting ahead of him said. Biden was to return home before departing for Chicago to join the president for what the campaign hopes is a victory celebration.
