Didn't Biden loose his wife and daughter at a very young age? Hasn't he commuted home via train every day from Washington to raise his kids?
Did you know Biden is one of the poorest Senators currently holding a seat?
And you think his is a cake job? That's insulting to the Senator and family values as a whole.

Point 3 - International - I can see her (much like Obamans supporters see him) on the Internatinal stage and delivering a SOLID representation of America. She is not George Bush.

I see a Bush style "America's the best and FU if you think different" approach to foreign relations that hasn't worked the last 8 years.
This is one thing I think the Dems understand much better than the GOP.
As Fareed Zakaria writes in his new book (from memory here)... America has succeeded in globalizing the world, but has yet to globalize itsself.
Or something like that.
The point being, that in the last decade we've seen an incredible rise among other nations. We are still the global leader, but there are so many other strong nations we can't lead with a stick (alone) any longer. This goes straight up the neocon's ass, but it's reality, and Iraq is proof in the putting. China is more proof and Georgia even more.
The world has
changed (read as "not changing") and our approach must change for the USA to have the necessary influence. We're not going to become irrevelant overnight, but it's already starting to happen.
I look at the Republican platform and I see more of the same. Complete denial that the way forward is the way of the past.
