Biden almost certainly will not run in 2016 (baring some tragedy). But for
the purposes of convention timing, the party that controls the White Hose
during the election is the incumbent party, even if neither the president
nor VP is running. In 2016 the Republican convention will be first, and I
think it is very unlikely that they will choose to schedule it the week
before the Democratic Convention. I don't know when the Brazil Olympics are
schedule - that might effect the timing.
