I do however, believe he will put up a better fight than Kerry did, if only because Biden's inconsistencies are fewer and his spew against America and our troops is either extremely limited or nonexistant. We'll see how things pan out, but Biden was in the same room with all the other leftwing ideologues joining the bashing session on Roberts and Alito. Biden is in the same boat with all the other opportunistic "centrists". Biden leans left where McCain leans right, and given the choice between two snake-oil salesmen, I'll take the snake-oil salesman who is less likely to completely rip me off once elected.

He's centrist, honest, experienced and very electable. Check out his PAC's website (and excellent video blog) at http://www.uniteourstates.com I think this might be Biden's chance.

Seldom in politics can you find the best candidate and most qualified for the job in one individual. Biden is the most articulate, charismatic, and experienced in the Democratic field. Just because he has been a Senator for over 30 years we forget that he got himself elected at 29 years old. Yes, he ran for President before but he was 44 and maybe he has learned something in 20 years. Only in the act of running for President do some perceive experience as bad. I have to believe 30+ years of experience, particularly in a post 9-11 world is important. We all love Bill Clinton but could even he have gotten elected as a Democrat with security and foreign policy as the primary issue in a campaign. Biden actually says what he thinks! I am sick of the country libeling our candidates as wafflers. I believe Gore, Kerry, and Hillary have strong convictions but because their personas and personalities they come off as political. We need a candidate who may say the wrong thing; that is not so programmed they come off as a political animal that has no conviction. Joe Biden for the good and the bad will not come off as political. In the end winning the election is not enough. In an effort to win we sometimes forget to look at who is best qualified to serve. I can not imagine any other potential candidate is more prepared and ready to unite our nation and ask for the sacrifices that are required in these difficult times. I encourage you to give Joe Biden a look and I believe you will be pleased with what you see. Joe Biden running for President is exactly what the Democratic Party needs.

Biden stated in a NPR interview a few mos back that he considers McCain to be a good friend and that if they ever ran against each other there'd be no cheap shots or dirty tricks used as they genuinely respect each other.
