A compilation of Biden's responses at the debate. Don't worry, it's less than 8 minutes long because that's all the time he got out of the two hours (yes, I'm pissed).

2. Thank you for posting. Biden does so well in these debates

I'm really sad he cannot get any traction in the polls. He should be #4 if not #3 and would make a nice alternative for those with Hillary and Obama fatigue.

3. He had a great nite - - in 6 minutes!

[gateley]

5. Joe Biden said a LOT in 6 minutes - concisely and succinctly! JOE BIDEN! nt

[PatSeg]

6. Actually he said a lot in that six minutes

and was very impressive. I liked this format better than previous debates, but for a while it sure looked like there were only TWO candidates on stage.

7. That was quite impressive.

I wouldn't hate it if Biden got the nod.

9. Disgraceful how they don't give candidates the time to answer

questions. Biden knows his stuff. just listening to him answer those questions, the guy knows what he is talking about.

10. Thank you!

:applause:

Biden is great!!!

Morning k&r.


on edit: Oh, & he has a really nice smile! I like that about Howard Dean, too. It's not my criteria for voting, but I do notice a nice smile. :7

11. LOL! I said the same thing about Biden's smile last night to my husband.

[BelgianMadCow]

12. I have to be honest - he is VERY presidential and scored

big with me

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. Yes, me too

We joke about Biden a lot around here, and many can't stand him here at DU. But listen to the guy - he does make a lot of sense and does have excellent foreign policy experience. He's now in my top 3.

14. Thanks, Gateley. I'm pissed about that too.

But even in just 8 minutes Sen. Biden said more than all the other candidates combined. When he speaks on a subject he gives details and makes his positions clear. None of this, "I don't support it but I think it's an excellent idea" crap. Who wants that for 4 years? Biden is the opposite of George Bush. Bush gives you misleading generalities then flat out lies. Biden gives you the specifics you need to understand the situation then explains specifically what should be done. Not only would that be refreshing, but it would be so good for our country. This country could use something good for a change. Eight years worth.
