Whatever happened to Joe Biden?

Don't see him much on TV. Is he out on the campaign trail, the sawdust trail for the chosen one? This can be sung to the tune of "Old Black Joe."

Gone are the days when Joe’s heart was young and gay,
Gone are Dem friends from the beltway far away,
Gone from the shore to a better sea a sailin',
I hear their vicious voices calling Sar-ah Palin.

Chorus: I'm going, I'm going,
but I thought it should be me,
I hear their nasty voices calling Hill-a-ry.

Why do I weep, when my heart should feel no Palin?
Why do I sigh that my friends come just a sayin’?
Grieving for polls now departed long ago.
I hear their shaky voices calling Old sad Joe.

Chorus: I'm going, I'm going,
for my choice is not so free,
I hear their nasty voices calling Hill-a-ry.

Where are the hearts once so happy and so free?
The party so dear that I held upon my knee?
Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go,
I hear their sorry voices calling Old sad Joe.

Chorus: I'm going, I'm going,
I do it for my part-y,
I hear their nasty voices calling Hill-a-ry.
