Biden will likely run in 2008

He'll find some Joementum heading his way.

He made a statement today on CBS' Face the Nation

"My intention now is to seek the nomination."

He'll be crushed... and in the process could take key votes away from other moderate dems.

Feingold is probably hoping for a race with the following:

Feingold
H. Clinton
Biden
Warner
Bayh

Whoops, the moderate vote got split 4 ways.

Anyways, the other Senator Joe has more of a chance than Biden.

why are the democrats so hostile  about biden?

are they angry that he actually has a little knowledge?

i know the dems prefer people who look good on tv, with little or no grasp on national issues, and portray themselves as 'populists' (ie john edwards and mark warner)

biden is one of the smartest people the dems have. 

but, i too, get a tear in my eye when i hear of little johnny edwards humble beginings.  that is the stuff presidents are made of.

Biden is wrong on the Iraq war.
Biden is wrong on the bankruptcy bill.
Biden is wrong on mindlessly bashing Dean.
Biden is wrong on using the word "I" too much.
Biden is wrong on plaijarizing stuff.

If they can portracy Kerry as an out of touch north-eastern liberal elite, they can definitely do that to Biden.

The man has no positives. What's he going to do - deliver Deleware?

Agreed. Doves never did the Democratic Party any favours

You do realize that if doves stopped voting for Democrats, the Republicans would win every single election no matter what? I'm ing sick of tired of people accepting that the Republicans are crazy-right wing, and then saying Democrats need to move to the right on issues like war.

This war was for no good reason, and Bush lied. You can sign the  up instead of bashing us people who were smart enough to oppose this disaster all along.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Anyways, an overwhelming majority now oppose this war.

This war was for no good reason, and Bush lied. You can sign the f**ck up instead of bashing us people who were smart enough to oppose this disaster all along.

With your post, Saddam Hussein, who himself was a weapon of mass destruction, would still be in power.  I don't care if he wasn't an immediate threat to the United States, the fact is he would have been in the near future, and in the short term, he was killing his own people and his neighbors for no reason.  I support, with Biden, the war in Iraq.  Bush and this Admin has definitely made some serious errors in judgement, but this war was going to have to be fought sooner or later.  Saddam was not going to relinquish power by peace negotiations alone, he needed to be forced out. 

I see and appreciate your point of view, jfern, but I hope you can see and appreciate our point of view, as well.  We don't have to agree with each other, but at least respect each other's opinions and views.

You 39% who support this war don't give a sh**t what the 59% of us who oppose this war think.
