He is a Democrat like Hillary, except without all the Clinton baggage.
He's more experienced than Obama (who, let's face it, people vote for because they remembered his speech at Kerry's convention.)
He has sat on the Foreign Relations committee for quite some time. The next president MUST know a lot about foreign relations.
He actually drafts bills and reads them, including his suggested plan for the Iraqi government---NOT partition, but federalism, which would keep the country from going into civil war and grant the Kurds, Shia, and Sunnis their own degree of autonomy within a unified Iraq.
That comment about Obama being "clean" which everyone in our race-obsessed society jumped all over? Jesse Jackson himself said he spoke to Biden after the incident and he concluded it was just an unfortunate choice of words.
Is electing another old white man to office something cool and different? No. But the question is who is most mature; who has the least amount of question marks...Biden 08!

I, too, think Obama is articulate. Articulate and understanding of several different issues, from foreign relations, to economics, etc. are 2 separate things. Why vote Obama when you can vote in someone similar, with much more experience? Obama can always run in the future, and by that time he will have a longer voting record for us to look at.

My opinion is that you should vote Joe Biden if you want a Democrat to win the general election. 50% of people have said they will not vote for Hillary. This means that for her to win, the 50% of people who didn't say they won't vote for her will need to vote for her. I just don't see this happening. Obama does not have the experience needed at this point in time. Republicans will jump all over that. Imagine the "voting present" commercials that they will air (Google it). John Edwards' big government stances will push away the independents. I really feel that Biden is the best chance for the Democrats to get the presidency back. Just my two cents...

I couldn't go with Biden because he and Hillary have too much of the same thought processes. And they're good friends. He might choose her as a running mate. Then we'd all be in trouble.

I like Biden, he's probably after Obama and Edwards as far as democrats go.
And fyi, people are voting for Obama because he is extremely intelligent, and will change our flawed politics system. Just because he is somewhat "inexperienced" doesnt mean he isn't smart.

He is another one of those guys that history will show that America should have voted for.

yes, but he will not win and that means my vote will be wasted, and some incompetent candidate may get elected instead.
I will vote for the BEST candidate that will win the election - Hillary.
