While I would never vote for Biden,
I was quite impressed with him on MTP. When compared with Grahm's broken record and nonsense, he sounded like a man who not only had a grasp on the subject, he was determined to spread the word. Good job, Joe.

Now go away.

1. Biden's message was as convoluted as it gets..
except when he made it especially clear, he DOES NOT support Troop Withdrawal.

3. Although, he as a bright idea of how to end the war with us winning.
A free Kurdistan. This will send a message to our ally, Turkey that Americans did not tolerate theocracy in America and will not tolerate theocracy abroad.

4. Biden made an excellent point
when he said that the surge would use the last bullet in our gun (or something like that) and when it doesn't work it will demonstrate our impotence and embolden our enemies.

5. I don't think he should go away, though I won't be voting for him, either
He's sharp in the diplomatic arena, he is a big picture type, and he adds to the discussion. So I don't want him to go away. I want him to stay and contribute his viewpoints.

7. No, let him run....you do know what he's doing, doncha?
He's betting on a Democratic president. He'd like the job, but he knows that is a long shot. But when you run, you're applying for cabinet jobs, too. I think he wants to be SECSTATE myself, that he's had enough of the Senate. I've always thought he had his eye on that job....or maybe UN ambassador. His first love is diplomacy.

The more people with a little gravitas on the platform duking it out, the better our party platform will be come the convention. That's always good. I don't go for these 'anointed' candidates anyway. They all need to fight it out in public. So I say let him run...I can't see him overcoming that Neil Kinnock business; it's bound to come up again, like it or not. And he's had brain surgery--that's gonna be a chitchat point too. And let us not forget those hair plugs!
