>> During his tenure as Attorney General, Biden's office secured $185 million from financial institutions in settlements related to the 2008 financial crisis. Many complain, however, that not enough of that money found its way to victims of the crisis.

>> Grant & Eisenhofer represents investors and whistleblowers in consumer class actions, false claims cases, antitrust lawsuits, shareholder litigation and bankruptcies.
>>
>> Biden has shown no public signs that he is plotting a run for governor. He has not held public events or delivered public comments in months, with his public absence coinciding with health concerns.
>>
>> In August 2013, Biden underwent a procedure to remove a small brain lesion at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center after becoming disoriented on a family vacation.
>>
>> New Castle County Chief Executive Tom Gordon, another political ally of the Bidens, spoke with Beau Biden by phone as recently as last month, he said.
>>
>> Gordon said he urged the former attorney general to speak publicly about his campaign plans, and has asked to be a member of a formal campaign committee. "I said, 'You need to get out and let people know you're still running,'" recounted Gordon, who is expected to seek the governor's office if Biden does not run.
>>
>> "I've talked to his close friends who will be running the campaign and they say they're getting ready for him to run," Gordon said. "At some point they've got to start announcing where they're going with the campaign."

>>> Former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who has said he is planning a run for governor in 2016, is expanding his role at Grant & Eisenhofer, the Wilmington law firm he joined in January.

>>> A spokesman for Biden did not immediately respond to questions about whether Biden is still committed to a gubernatorial run next year, and how his work at the law firm fits into those plans.
>>>
>>> Grant & Eisenhofer said that Biden will expand his work on behalf of whistleblowers represented by the firm. Stuart Grant, a prominent Biden donor and political ally, is the firm's co-founder and managing director.
>>>
>>> "We're really excited for Beau to grow his work in the whistleblower group," Grant said by email. "It's a natural continuation of what he did as attorney general, and is something he's already been working on since he joined the firm in January."
>>>
>>> Grant said the new work "doesn't change anything for him politically. He will make an excellent governor."

It’s a natural continuation of what he did as AG, and is something he’s already been working on since he joined the firm in January. It doesn’t change anything for him politically - I think he’d make an excellent Governor.

Option one is by far the easiest, but I like where we’re at now, and feeding the rumor mill by not responding may only put more pressure on us. A fourth option may be an amalgam of two and three.
