3. Biden.

I am keen on wanting whoever becomes President having as much sane foreign policy experience as possible. One fuck up on war and peace and we drain our federal budget of money needed for social progress for a generation, not to mention all the people who die in wars that should never be fought. Having your heart in the right place is good and important, but having experience under your belt also helps prevent misjudgements. It is no different in Statecraft than it is in surgery. If your surgeon subscribes to the wrong theory of medicine, yeah that can kill you. But if s/he does not have a steady enough hand, that can kill you too.

Experience isn't everything granted, but my choice between these two is Biden.

4. GET UP, AND TAKE A STAND

GO JOE GO!!!

5. Biden. Even though I'm a supporter I visualized (as objectively as I could)

a matchup of these two - a debate between them. I think Biden's experience and breadth of understanding and knowledge would trump Edwards's.

[Colobo]

6. Wow! Tied!

[Czolgosz]

8. I don't think an Obama-Biden match would be tied. I think Biden would win easily.

[Colobo]

10. Over here at DU, yes. Biden would win.

Biden is my second choice.

[Czolgosz]

14. These head-to-head matchups generate extra votes for the non-viable candidate because those votes

come from supporters of the other viable candidates besides the one who is polled about (e.g., in this poll, Hillary supporters no doubt comprise a good deal of Biden's support). That's why Biden might do well in this format but would tank in a poll that allowed for a choice among all the candidates.

[Colobo]

7. Kick!

9. I like Edwards, but I think Biden will do a better job taking it to the Repubs...

while defending himself against their character assassination machine. Biden's background also leads me to believe that he'd do a better job at straightening out the difficult mess Bozo Bush has put us in. Sen. Biden may have slipped in under the radar, but I believe he's a real winner for the Democratic Party.

27. I like Biden

But he gets carried away and stickes his foot in his mouth as Gore did with Wolf Blitzer and the I invented the internet, how ever many people say that Gore could almost lay claim the interner, with all the help he gave the internet when he was in office.

[Kahuna]

11. Gotta go with Bidey-Man. nt

[LWolf]

12. No, thanks.

They come out even with me, both with strengths and drawbacks. I'm not voting in any poll that excludes the rest of the pack, though.

[mtnsnake]

13. I think both would make fine candidates

...except for Edwards :evilgrin:

[asdjrocky]

16. There ya go again Snake.

[mtnsnake]

18. Sorry, rocky

..couldn't resist. :)

[asdjrocky]

19. Lol,

You're still my favorite Anti-Edwards guy!

[Eurobabe]

15. Biden n/t

[slick8790]

17. Wow, split 50/50.

[Colobo]

20. A true horserace.

[Adelante]

21. Biden nt

[Colobo]

22. The first to get more than 50 votes will be considered the winner.

[gateley]

23. Eeeeek! This is a nail biter! nt

[Colobo]

24. WINNER: JOHN EDWARDS!

[gateley]

25. Shit - I didn't even look at the names! I assumed Biden was first -- alphabetical

and all. I thought he won until I saw your pronouncement. Shades of 2000 and 2004! :7

CONGRATS EDWARDS SUPPORTERS! You did your candidate proud! :headbang:

[jenmito]

26. NOT SO FAST!

Biden by a hair!

[Steely_Dan]

28. Biden by 4

[jillan]

29. This is still neck and neck.

I'm impressed!

[illinoisprogressive]

30. katz, that is not a fair poll. How can one choose?

[jenmito]

31. I think it's easy...

one has tons of foreign policy experience and tells the truth almost all the time (I have yet to see him lie) and the other is John Edwards. :D
