Joe Biden actually answers the question and adds deeper insight.
Edited on Wed Oct-31-07 08:03 AM by cryingshame
In the little time given to Biden in last night's debate, he managed to constantly bring up deeper perspectives on several issues.

And the other candidates followed along and said "I agree with Joe" after he made he framed the question to highlight the Big Picture.

He answers the question and has a really sharp wit.

All 3 front runners just seemed to do the usual evasive non-answer.

1. I was really impressed by Biden last night.
Much more of a straight shooter than half the other folks up there.

2. I agree that Biden sounded clear
and did appear to bring deeper perspective on several issues. Both he and Dodd impressed me last night. I don't know that I agree with your assertion that the front runners were offering evasive non-answers, but agreeing to disagree never killed nobody, right? :-)

4. I've agreed to disagree a thousand times
And died a thousand deaths :)

I actually thought they all did well last night. But Biden was outstanding in how he filled his meagre time with substance.

5. I agree!
both Biden and Dodd did great. Richardson seemed a little flat to me, but it could have been my mood. And Kucinich sounded fairly reasonable. And I'll leave those three lightning rods aka The Front Runners out of this. :evilgrin:

6. BIDEN is the best we have
In these troubled and dire time we live in, Joe Biden, to me, encompasses all that we desperately need for our nation:

1) Intelligence
2) Experience in ALL phases of government
3) Strength
4) Respect from world leaders
5) Diplomacy
6) Command of issues
7) Solutions to problems that face our nation
8) Honesty
9) Integrity
10) Respect and trust from his peers
11) Respect and trust from the people who follow him
12) an EXPERT in foreign policy

Joe Biden certainly meets ALL of the criteria above.

I pray and hope every day that Mr. & Mrs. America, the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina know in their hearts, that if we lose Joe Biden, we'll have lost one of the best Presidents our nation will ever have.

Please watch a video I produced to show my support for Senator Biden. If you support him, please send the link below to family and friends, and ask them to do the same.

I could not have said it all better myself!

Joe has been my Senator since the day he was first elected, and I am biased, but more than that, I am fortunate and proud.

I will be voting for Joe because no another candidate, Democrat or republican has more experience in domestic legislation and international affairs, or has the least more straight forwardness, albeit sometimes to a fault.

As far as "negative electability" how will the republican slime ball machine go after him......they can't say Joe is too liberal for two reasons, "The Biden Crime Bill" for one; And the way Joe not only called for U.S. military action against Miloshevik, but called him a "war criminal" to his face when Joe met with him over there in private.

The best thing the Ghoulani campaign could reply with after Joe blasted him as the most unqualified man for president during the debate was the same old dead, buried, and stinkin' plagerism issue when Joe was younger.

I have only heard other Dems, not Renamblacans blast Joe about his bankruptcy bill vote; I did too, but the credit card industry is one of Delaware's top three sources of state revenue, and employment; And at the time, before selling out, MBNA was the single most significant in-kind contributor to many schools, neighborhoods, and charitable organizations, like it or not!

Part of a state Senator's job is to vote with the best interests of the vast majority of his constituents in mind,(imagine that novel concept) and Joe did!; but,it is unfortunate that it went against the growing national numbers of those facing bankruptcy,(who unlike Delaware citizens will not benefit in some other state wide ways).

Even though Joe's chances look slim I'm hoping that pundits and polls will be mistaken as usual, and that Joe surprises alot of people in the primaries, but he won't surprise
me!

I'm not a drinker, but Joe is the kind of guy it would be fun to sit down and have a beer with.......and if he wins I plan on having a few beers myself for him.

7. Exactly. Joe used the tiny amount of time he was given...
to leave the viewer with some actual substance...not to show he could slam Hillary. He is the best candidate we have.
