With Biden at the helm,

I don't know if I am on the Titanic or the USS Constitution. I do know it will be one hell of a ride.

I think it will be full speed ahead and that at his best, Joe can connect with voters on many levels. He should start by saying, "This is a big f****** deal."

Go Joe, Go!

It's totally the USS Constitution. I don't get your confusion. No offense.

However, Joe does have a habit of occasionally running into icebergs of his own making. One unfortunate soundbite can make a difference with the fickle electorate.

doesn't step in it as much as the media and detractors like to portray. I'd be more leery of what Obama's advisors and pushing. They apparently weren't on the ball for Obama's first outing, and many of them are not fans of Joe and have that "crazy uncle" view of him. They don't give him credit and they underestimate him, so who knows how they're trying to direct him? I just hope Joe wil be Joe.
