There have been some changes in my candidate preferences

[Colobo]

My first choice is and will be Obama (unless he comes up with something outrageous). However, my new second choice is JOE BIDEN, with Edwards falling to third choice.

Got to say it: Joe Biden is an amazing candidate.

1. I am delighted to have something in common with you!

Joe is a blast.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. PS: Obama probably benefited tonight

He didn't have a great night, and lost some ground vs. Clinton (probably the same ground she lost to him last week), but seeing some of the reviews (like the Yepsen article) it looks like Edwards had an even worse night than I thought.

So maybe look for Obama, Kucinich and Biden to pick up some Edwards support in Iowa. (Which is a fair number of voters, given Edwards very good performance in the most recent polls)

31. I LOVE Biden!

I love all of them and think any one of them would make a great president. But...I honestly can't stand the thought of a 2008 presidential election with four white guys on the ticket. I'd love a Biden/Clinton or Clinton/Biden ticket.

I adore Obama but I think he needs a little more experience. He's young, his time will come. He's great at giving speeches but seems to flounder a lot in debates. This would be bad in a debate with the republican candidate. Especially if it's the silver-tongued liar Mitt Romney.

I do think we need a president who unites the country. But we need someone who goes at this from experience, knowing what they are up against, not idealism.

2. Me too.....

[ElizabethDC]

3. Biden's been my second favorite for a while

I really don't think I'll be needing a second choice, though.

4. he did a great job--and I keep thinking about what he said to Bush

go into Iran and you will be impeached.
Dang!

[whirlygigspin]

23. that was awsome!

when Biden said (more or less) "start a war in Iran and I'll impeach your ass"

that was like 'the bomb' for me

I love this guy, no pussyfooting around

and the best part is, you know Joe ain't bluffing, i'm sure he scared a few neocons tonight

kick ass!

:kick:

5. Well there we go...Biden would be my second choice too...nt

[Think82]

14. Make him your first choice by Jan.! C'mon top-tier, people. Vote how you really feel!

[kad7777]

17. I think some of the top tier supporters

may be afraid that Joe won't be electable. Which is legitimate in their eyes. But I believe Joe would mop the floor with any Republican. He already did it with Rudy in one sentence. AND, Joe will pull A LOT of Republican and Independent votes.

21. C'Mon...

I don't question the legitimacy of anyones opinions regarding who they will support...I don't think anyone should...

[Maven]

6. Well, we have that in common.

Biden is my new #2.

[AtomicKitten]

7. Obama/Biden has a nice ring to it.

:)

[Think82]

13. Biden/Obama is better : )

[kad7777]

15. I totally agree

4 or 8 years as Joe's VP and Barack will be awesome.

BIDEN/OBAMA '08

[AtomicKitten]

16. I can see that.

definitely

[calteacherguy]

25. I does. I like it. nt

[mvd]

8. I've had a couple changes this primary season

At first it was Kucinich #1, Obama #2, Edwards #3

Then Kucinich #1, Edwards #2, no real #3

Now it is Kucinich #1, Edwards a weak #2, no real #3

[silverweb]

9. Copycat!

:D

Agreed, absolutely.

[liberalmuse]

11. Sounds like Biden did really well tonight.

If you can gauge by the posts here.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

12. First non Kucinich candidate to say the "i" word... counts for a lot around here.

[Adelante]

20. He did

The audience really felt Joe tonight.

[sandnsea]

18. I think Joe might just sneak up from behind

He seems to be getting to be everybody's second and that's a very very good thing.

[sampsonblk]

19. Allowing your vote to be influenced by these debates = very bad

The time to decide about the candidates is a year or so in advance. Nothing we see today bears any resemblance to reality.

[walk softly]

22. I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT....

hard to see any comparison between the two especially Joe Biden has done so much damage to the working and middle class America that's fighting for survival. Compare Obama's economic stance where he actually talks abut rolling back harsh bankruptcy laws and credit card company windfall rates - things Biden worked to put in place in the Biden 2005 Bankruptcy bill. Google and see for yourself
Biden 2005 Bankruptcy Bill

Pay special attention to the defeated amendments reviewed in the Daily Kos Diary.

[Froward69]

27. First of all walk softly stop calling it

Bidens bill it was NOT! then please try to understand Biden got that bill under some sort of control. after that. understand Biden is for rolling it back to. next you will be saying Biden is rolling in bank dollars. well he is not. check it out and educate yourself.

We all know the GOP is frightened Joe Biden will be the nominee. and thus pushing Hillary. so who do you support? Rudy G.? newbie

[youthere]

30. It was the GRASSLEY Bankruptcy Bill...

and even though I disagree with Biden (and the other 17 Dems) voting for it, I see the bigger picture where that vote is concerned. On the whole, Biden has a repectable voting record. He's a strong candidate and I will be caucusing for him. It's disappointing so many here on DU campaign so strongly AGAINST someone else''s candidate rather than campainging FOR their own.

[walk softly]

32. Why is everything construed as an attack

Thought DU was a place we could educate ourselves and others re positions rather than depending on media. If Joe Biden is the nominee I will be his #1 volunteer and I do mean hundreds of hours of phoning and canvassing.

[calteacherguy]

24. My second choice as well. nt

[murbley40]

26. Yea!

[Cameron27]

28. Good choice

he's always been in my top 3, and I'm strongly leaning towards him as #1 now.

[youthere]

29. Glad to hear it!

Of course, I am biased, as I'm a Biden supporter ;)

Obama is a great candidate, and he is my second choice and I would love to see a Biden/Obama ticket. The only reason I finally tipped to Biden over Obama was because of the foreign policy, but I would be proud to vote for Obama in the GE.
