1. Biden. Close call - they both have the experience and I agree with both

of them on the issues, but I just resonate with Biden more. Rec!

2. I like Dodd a lot, but I think Biden would be a stronger candidate in the general election.

5. You probably should've picked the brackets...

based on DU poll numbers, as opposed to national polls. This is still really cool, though.

6. Biden seems to be a back-up for a lot of DUers

8. I like Biden and Dodd, but I cannot get past the Anita Hill issue

and because of that, I could not support Biden.

9. That's a good point

something to think about.

11. Re: Biden/Anita Hill

This is my response to the above post (didn't want to have to type it again).

Not here to convince you otherwise, but the general impression about Biden/Anita Hill isn't accurate.



Biden voted AGAINST Thomas. He's also introduced landmark legislation in support of women.

I was concerned about the Anita Hill thing, too, but it just didn't jibe with what I knew about Biden. I researched it and found this is a misrepresentation of the actual facts and occurrences.

If it's the Hill/Thomas issue that's holding you back, look into it further and you'll see the bigger picture - not just the spin against Biden.

12. You know, I watched the thing unfold, unable to pull myself away from the

hearings, so wanting Anita Hill to be respected and taken seriously. I was appalled at what happened. But, you are right. I better look into it again before I decide.

[gateley]

13. I wish I would have followed it - and who knows? I might have come away

with the same impression many others did. I admire you for being willing to look at it again. Viewing an issue from a different perspective is always a good thing to do, and I wish I remembered to do it more often.

I really wish there was a video of it somewhere so I could see what people are referring to.

17. What that senator Biden

seriously questioned her timing? Senator Biden still did not vote to confirm Clarence Thomas.? Wasn't urging voting against Clarence Thomas, Anita Hills motive to begin with?

15. Dodd

16. Poll is closed

I thought Dodd should of done a little better. I thought this one was a toss up.
