Spence, you're alone on this one, every talk show I listen to, left and right, said he is done.
I agree with you that what he said was not that bad, but we're two white guys. There is no way the Dems will back him now and he is the most qualified Dem candidate. Strike another win for the Hillary machine, she signed a good contract with the man downstairs.

all this politically correctness is way over done and nauseating !

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were not that articulate

more like grandstanders with a preachy style of speaking imho

and with Jessie Jackson you barely make out what he's saying...

i think this is what Joe was "trying" to say.... although it didn't

turn out that way ... and i think it's crazy to eliminate one's whole

political career based upon a single sentence. Thats absurd.

Talking furthermore

I hereby Predict that Joe Biden will be our next president.

Thus far he's Still the Most presidential candidate i've seen.

and with all the Blunders that Bush has done..... it's like comparing a mountain to a mole hill.

Don't agree...

For one it's a long time till the election, and two Biden is perhaps one of the most qualified in the field.

Regarding foreign policy, he's by my estimation clearly the leader of the pack. And this is going to be a huge qualifier come election time.

In my humble opinion, he won't be a factor. Even my liberal friends want him to go away. Nobody doubts his brains and eperience in FP matters, but sadly those qualifications, or lack thereof, aren't always the standard . Most liberals I know want the Gore, Kerry and Bidens of the world to step back and allow some new blood to emerge as party leaders.They see them as retreads and gumming up the works for a party looking to take contol of the oval office. I am confident Biden will not be that person.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

And my wife who's nearly a member of the socialist party loves him

Biden is a pragmatist and a centrist which is what the country is looking for right about now.

Hillary is the real target, she has all the money and most of the party power base bahind her. Yet a good portion of the country believe she isn't electable.

Biden and Richardson are the two moderate dems with the perfect resumes to capture the middle.

If Biden blows it my money is on Bill Richardson, but I'd like to see both.
