[jillan]

8. He's yelling :(

[rodeodance]

10. no offence but i have heard my mom say that

[gateley]

40. Ha! Just now realized you were commenting on my Beatles post. Funny!

Say hi to your mom for me! :hi:

[jillan]

12. I do too

I'm nervous for him.

[tridim]

[rodeodance]

[gateley]

14. I didn't get the Chicago joke. Now had he said Hello Denver! I'd be on the floor!

[sandnsea]

38. clinton and obama supporters

bussed in from Chicago???

:shrug:

I didn't get it either, but thinking about it, I think that's what he meant. Kinda funny, probably some truth to it too.

[gateley]

41. Oh - I bet you're right. That's REALLY funny! nt

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

15. Joe looks like Bob Uecker... never noticed that before

[gateley]

21. Man, I wish you hadn't said that. I'll be thinking that every time I look at

him from now on.

Someone else said he looks like Max Headroom (and you know who you are!) :7

[CrispyQ]

48. :-O

But he does!!!

[gateley]

49. Ha! You're too funny!

:rofl:

[jillan]

39. You think Biden looks like this guy?

Sorry - I don't see it:rofl:

[saltpoint]

16. I'm enjoying a mental image of how someone like Giuliani must feel when

he listens to Biden on foreign policy and realizes that he is no match for Biden, and that were Biden to get the nod in Denver and Rudy in Minneapolis, there would come an autumn night, in a debate, when "America's mayor" would have to stand against Biden, against Biden's scope and range, against Biden's knowledge and poise, and against Biden's general sure-footedness.

What a long, embarrassing night that is going to be for Rudy Giuliani.

[Yael]

20. No kidding.

Biden is my #2 should something cause Edwards to drop out.

If not and John gets the nod, I only hope he considers this man for his Sec of State. I can't imagine a better one on foreign affairs.

He is brilliant.

[saltpoint]

22. Hi, Yael. You said it.

Giuliani (or any of the other Pukes for that matter) would have to flee the stage and duck out the back door.

Biden owns international affairs against any Puke they got.

[Yael]

35. OC, you watching these speeches tonight?

We have an incredible slate of candidates.

[saltpoint]

37. Agree -- it's a strong field and it's growing more impressive as we move into

late autumn.

The best strategy for the Republican field right now would be for them to all blow their brains out.

That is, those who HAVE brains.

[gateley]

43. I'm ROARING at your suggested Republican strategy! Thanks!! nt

[youthere]

59. What a waste of ammunition...

They'd fire, expecting a spray of blood, bone and brains, and instead there would just be a cloud of old q-tips.

[gateley]

23. I think whoever becomes Prez (if not Joe) would want him as the SOS.

[sandnsea]

26. Very true and worth considering

I'm liking Biden more every time I see him. I really like how he goes right at them on "moral values" too.

[saltpoint]

30. Hey there, sandnsea. He really does go right at them on moral values,

and that would be a plus for a Democratic ticket since the Republicans try to use that as a wedge issue.

[jillan]

17. Good for Joe for bringing up Pakistan - he deserves mucho kudos for that!

[lyonn]

45. He said if we don't get things straight with the world

we can not work on what is so needed at home. The war in Iraq, the disrupting forces of our present admin. around the world must be fixed immediately. (My translation of his words) He said there would be a price to pay to get things back on track and he feels and believes Americans understand and are will to make the sacrifice.

I so agree. He's a man with a good plan.

[jillan]

18. Kicking ass!

Started off lukewarm - but got into his groove!

[Cameron27]

24. Yep, he's very good.

[babylonsister]

19. Really good speech from Biden! nt

[sandnsea]

25. That was incredible

I could totally get behind Biden. That was a terrific speech. I become more and more comfortable with him as just a regular human being. I don't think I ever "got" that about Biden before.

[jillan]

29. YOU are one person that I would love to have on board!

[sandnsea]

47. hehe

I always consider myself a detriment and figure the less I post on a candidate the better for the campaign, lol. I'm truly open to anybody who can sort of step over the cesspool of the last 20 years, but not compromise on the really important issues. It's a fine line between concensus and concession.

[gateley]

That's part of what drew me to him to begin with. Felt like he was talking to

us person to person, rather than candidate to potential vote.

If you continue to observe him, I think he'll grow on you. It is always surprising to us Bidenites that he CONTINUES to keep impressing us and our esteem for him continues to grow.

Thank you for your post - makes me feel good! :)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

27. That was intelligent, moving and a highly respectful appeal for trust

He really said why HE should be president, not just listing what's fucked up or how he *feels*

[jillan]

33. I didn't hear that from the other candidates - so far.

[Jim Sagle]

28. Feel the excitement!

:boring:

[jillan]

31. Were you referring Edwards speech?

[saltpoint]

32. Ah heck Jim. You don't mean that.

[gateley]

34. And I was so respectful and complimentary to Edwards. Your post is a little

disappointing.

[Jim Sagle]

42. Oh, c'mon, it's just a gentle ribbing. Joe's a nice guy and I like him.

He'd be way better than any of the Republicans.

[ginchinchili]

44. Wow, what a compliment.

[moondust]

36. Wow. What a prick.

:rofl:

[Jim Sagle]

46. You are indeed.

[SayitAintSo]

50. I thought Biden's speech was very inspiring....

It reminded me of the closing argument in A time to Kill... without the gotcha at the end. Very effective....

[jillan]

51. His speech pulled you in. Definitely different than the other candidates.

It made you think.

[PatSeg]

52. He truly is an effective speaker

and he actually SAYS something when he speaks.

I missed the first part of his speech, but was fortunate enough to see the end. He ceases to impress me.

[lyonn]

53. After listening to all of the speeches, Biden is definitely still my choice

Edwards made me feel patriotic and inspired. Obama, really about the same as Edwards only with a different style and Obama was comparing his ideas to some of the other candidates and making it fairly clear who he was referring to, kinda liked that, not sure. At least you know where he stands. Dodd speaks to me.

Bottom line, after mentally going over the evening, Biden was the candidate that didn't sound like he was giving a stump speech. He sounded like he was spouting what was on his mind. Of course he rehearsed, it's just that I feel like he is trying hard not to play games with his explaining his plans to get us out of the mess we are in. You didn't hear a lot of suck up kind of phrases, no people pleaser talk.

[gateley]

54. Wow - REALLY well put, lyonn! nt

[New Earth]

55. I came to the conclusion tonight

that Biden is one hot mofo. Prob. not gonna vote for him, but damn he is hot for his age :o

[gateley]

56. Ha! Whenever I see the pics Pirhana and tesgat have in their sig lines, I

swear I SWOON! :headbang:

[lyonn]

57. I suspect that he treats his wife the way most women would

like to be treated, with respect, not some superior, arrogant jerk. Example, the Guliani type, use and throw away.

[gateley]

61. His wife was asked to tell something about Biden that not many people would

think, and she said "he's got a romantic side to him" or something like that.

He seems to sincerely respect her and is proud of her accomplishments.
