1. Kucinich - the real democrat.
I's so sick and tired of the others moving to the right to appease those six republicans out there that might switch. :banghead:

3. Independents, not crossover republicans
are the demographic to reach. Any candidate who plays only to the hardcore leftwing base will not get elected and therefore can not bring about positive change.

6. I have believed - and continue to - that if people get the opportunity to
meet and speak with Biden, and hear what HE has to say, they'll be as impressed as we Bidenites. This is encouraging and confirms my belief that the Iowans know what the hell they're doing when it comes to politics!

Thanks for posting this!

12. DK all the Way!
If the Democratic Iowa caucuses were tomorrow, which candidate would you support?
Christopher Dodd
5%
John Edwards
18%

Hillary Clinton
15%
Joe Biden
23%

Barack Obama
24%
Bill Richardson
8%

Mike Gravel
2%
Dennis Kucinich
5%


Total Votes: 678




But having this open to non-Iowans really throws off these results, I would think. Got to love all these pre-election polls!

(Cedar Falls isn't gonna know what hit it!)

19. I don't know, but I think it is only for Iowans
Maybe subscribers to the paper have the option to vote?

18. Pitbulls never give up.
Edited on Thu Oct-18-07 03:31 PM by kad7777
Joe Biden...my classy pitbull.

In these troubled and dire time we live in, Joe Biden, to me, encompasses all that we desperately need for our nation:

1) Intelligence
2) Experience in ALL phases of government
3) Strength
4) Respect from world leaders
5) Diplomacy
6) Command of issues
7) Solutions to problems that face our nation
8) Honesty
9) Integrity
10) Respect and trust from his peers
11) Respect and trust from the people who follow him

Joe Biden certainly meets ALL of the criteria above.

I pray and hope every day that Mr. & Mrs. America, the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina know in their hearts, that if we lose Joe Biden, we'll have lost one of the best Presidents our nation will ever have.

Please watch a video I produced to show my support for Senator Biden. If you support him, please send the link below to family and friends, and ask them to do the same.

31. Good for the Obama crowd - they're as passionate as we are! This is SO
exciting and we KNEW this would happen. When people get a chance to listen to him they can't help but be impressed by his experience, knowledge and wisdom - just like we all were.

This gives us so much hope - and it's reminder to keep on and not get discouraged! Truth will out!

33. Don't think so...
He would make John Edwards a find V.P...this would make a winning ticket, remember IOwa in 2004 wiwth Edwards at 5%..who went on to come withing 2 percentage points of Kerry, if Clark hadn't gotten in the race, Edwards would have won...remember some saying that Bill Clinton had Clark in the race to defeat Edwards and have an open field for 2008 for Hillary.

34. Gaining Traction
Joe Biden is without a doubt the only second tier candidate with the capabilities of getting the Democratic Nomination. He is by far the most intellectual of all the candidates and he is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else in regards to Iraq. Iowans are beginning to recognize this. Iowans want a winner, but they also want someone who is able to hit the ground running in 2009. Joe Biden fits those two categories and may just win the Presidency!

I have been volunteering for the campaign and helping out with the phone banks. Calling Iowans all across the state I hear time and time again: "I like Biden; I think he has all the right ideas; I think he may just be the right guy."
With well over half of the Iowa caucus-goers completely undecided this is not a bad place for Joe to be--at all! Polls like this prove Biden's elect-ability!

35. Richardson. He's the best national candidate. Along with DK, the best on Iraq.
Hillary is not inevitable.

40. You're right
No one is inevitable unless we allow it. This is OUR election for OUR president, not the media's.
