Biden will likely run in 2008

Biden as a VP would add toughness and national security credentials to the ticket. I'm tired of inept or boring VPs.

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.

Great post.

Biden needs to be our up and front voice on national security for this party

Agreed. Doves never did the Democratic Party any favours

I agree! Democrats need to realize that doves don't win in war-time. Biden has supported the war but been critical of Bush's mistakes. He hasn't flip-flopped around all over the place like Kerry.
