The greatest compliment...
Edwards told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Late Edition...,

"And the job for me now is -- I have learned this from my whole life experience -- is when you get knocked down, you have got to get up...."


Now, where have we heard THAT before, Bidenites and Bidenettes?

12. Bittersweet.... yep. Seems my whole life is one fat
bittersweet berry. But you know, we've got some fabulous memories, and some fabulous friends....thanks to Joe Biden. My buds can tolerate a bit 'o bitter for that kind'a sweet.

8. Didn't somebody write a book and almost call it Get Up?
"It wasn't so much Robert Frost, initially," Biden told Smith. "As I went through the book, I was raised in a way that was constantly said, you know, 'A promise made is a promise kept. You've got to keep your word.' Originally, I was going to entitle the book 'Get Up,' because my father, you know, you lose a game, get up. You lose a family, get up. It's just constantly get up and move. But one thing led to another. And it seemed more appropriate to go back to Frost."

11. My dad once said to me, he said...
"Son, you do what you say you'll do. So, be very careful what you say you'll do." Now, my little brother might say, "Our dad never said that;" to which I reply (repeatedly), "brother, you weren't listening, were you."

It's just not the same without his smiling face and optimism in this race.
