I like Biden a lot as well. Unfortunately he isn't rich enough, and enough of a politician (read asskisser and button pusher) to have a serious shot at the presidency. I'm not knocking him, but that's just the way it is.

I also like the three state solution to Iraq, it seems to be the most practical/achievable solution yet offered by anyone. Unfortunately, unless Biden can pull off a huge upset the Not Invented Here syndrome will likely keep it from serious consideration by anyone else.

Would be great as a VP candidate. Is he being talked about for that at all? Although if it's Hilary or Obama, they might try to get someone with more southern appeal.

I really like the idea of Obama being his VP. This way, Obama would have great White House experience and would be a true experienced force when he ran down the road.

He has the foot-in-mouth syndrome. Do we need another "Dubya?"

Biden makes mistakes because he is human. W does as well. However W makes tragic incredible mistakes because he is incompetent and totally unqualified for the job. The comparision of those two is not even close.

I don't see Biden playing second banana to anybody especially Barrack Hussein Obama! He's way too much of a egomaniac!

I see him on the same level as Howard Dean, "foot in mouth" disease is right! He is a narcissist, smart-aleck kind of guy...I guess many like that form of "confidence". It is old and rancid, like all the beltway boys.

He can be annoying. But it is true the guy knows his foreign policy. He speaks more intelligently to the Iraq issues than anybody coming out of the administration. He understands the tribal and religious complexities of the region very well.

While I still vehemently support Bill Richardson, Biden is my second favorite- and this is coming from a near-socialist! When I watch the debates, I find myself blocking out what half of the candidates say, but both Biden and Richardson really make me listen and feel confident about them as candidates.

I am amazingly infuriated by all the celebrity politicians that talk the talk but that's all it it- talk. Neither Hillary or Barack give me any kind of confidence. Maybe a bit more than any Republican candidate, but not much. It's infuriating.
