Not to be mean but Biden has had an extremely disappointing primary
He got what, 1% in Iowa? He has 0% today so far. A poll here in DU showed that many were optimistic that he would win the primaries (lol).
Maybe the fact that he is such an underdog keeps people from calling it like it is.
But wow...What a poor showing.

He's a good guy though.

1. You're aware that he dropped out of the race last week, right?

2. You do realize he's no longer officially a candidate, right?

3. Um... he dropped out last week, after Iowa
That would probably explain the lack of votes tonight. The people in NH are paying more attention than you are, I guess!

4. He got 0% because he is no longer running n/t

5. Really disappointing. I may vote for him in Oregon in May, as a write in if need be.

8. It's Sort Of Funny...

So many people liked Biden here at DU. He always had plenty of support. I'm mystified as well. Perhaps had the media given him a fair shake in the beginning, the political field might look much different tonight.

Now, the Republicans have turned towards McCain, towards experience. It would have been nice to have Biden around to counter McCain's win.
