Regardless of what I just wrote, I'm hoping that my Senator, Joe Biden gets the nod, but I know I’m just dreaming here.

I'll so far as to state that every single US Senator, bar none, harbors or harbored Presidential apirations. Regardless of whether they're electable or not, they all see it as the logical next step in a career. Senators generally are the second most powerful folks in DC, and they wield a lot of it.
Biden has the basics in place to get the nomination (so do about 20 others), but I don't know if he has the national power base to get there. We'll see.
