Biden more than ever, now
The turn-key candidate on foreign affairs. A statesman, not a striver.

Seriously.

The events of today have focused my interest on Joe Biden.

Anyone else having the same reaction?

4. Hoping people around the country
and especially in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have taken notice.

6. Smart move...

some people fail to see the enormity of it all. I suspect you'll see plenty of "no's" in this thread. That's because some people are myopic in their views.

8. lol
from your earlier posts about how much you don't like his Iraq plan and stuff, I thought he was like #10 on your list! :)

I knew you were a clever person!

11. do you want an apprentice, or a journeyman?
Let's say the second floor of the house is sagging. Do you hire an apprentice, or a journeyman carpenter?

Let's say the medical tests show you need bypass surgery. Do you pick an intern to do the operation, or a board certified surgeon?

Let's say you're flying to a remote airport in bad icy weather. Do you hope your pilot is seasoned and wise, or will any pilot do?

Gee. Wake up. The house is on fire. The ship is sinking. The arteries are clogged. The plane's wheels won't go down. The water pipes have burst.

Get competent help.

14. I like Obama too, but no matter how much you like him...
it doesn't change the fact that he simply doesn't have enough experience to be president. We're being dangerously foolish if we pretend that experience isn't important. Would you want someone without experience performing brain surgery on you?

12. People are learning...
what many of us Biden supporters have known for a long time. We need someone with experience in the White House.

13. If we really want to put our nation first, Joe Biden is the obvious choice.
Any other reason to nominate any other candidate is less than the best reason. Joe Biden would make the best president of all candidates running. He's ready. We need to quit screwing around or we will definitely regret it. You'd think we'd have learned that after 7 years of Bush. Time to make up for that in fundamental ways. A vote for Biden is a vote for America's best interests.
