"Joe is Right"

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
It's a trend we've noticed at the debates, that many of the Democratic candidates -- sometimes more than once a debate -- will say, "Joe is right" or they agree with him on one stance or another (usually foreign policy.)

I say at the next debate, we have a new drinking game - anytime one of the others agree with Biden, we drink!

1. I have reported you to the police

for 10,000 counts of attempted murder by alcohol poisoning :D

[jillan]

9. Hey - I never said WHAT should be in those martini glasses. . . .

That's my story, and I'm stickin to it ;)

[LynneSin]

2. I've avoided those drinking games for fear of serious liver damage

I keep thinking that the weight of this campaign will drag down Clinton and Obama leading way to a Biden nomination (or perhaps Edwards, although he's been in the thick of some of this drama).

One can hope!

[jillan]

8. I am hoping for the same thing, or that voters will just wake up.

3. A very special reader's comment from the link

I hate this war with a passion, and I have good reason. My husband, father to our four children is in Iraq for his second 15 month tour. He will come home this time a different person than he was when he left, just like he did when he came home the first time. I'll have to get to know him all over again. So will our kids...God bless and protect Joe Biden for voting to fund the troops. He understands that if he does not, they will be the ones who suffer. I want this war over just as badly as you obviously do, but I want my husband as safe as possible while he is fulfilling his oath. Biden has made sure that our troops are given more Mine Resistant vehicles, when Bush and Co. didn't want to. Biden has fought for our troops harder than darn near anyone else. He knows more about foreign policy than any of the other candidates, and I believe that he is the best chance the Democratic party has to not only win this election, but restore the dignity and credibility of the Office of the President in the United States and around the world.

Please, we don't need a media anointed candidate, we need Joe Biden.

[Froward69]

4. AMEN!

"Please, we don't need a media anointed candidate, we need Joe Biden." again AMEN!

ps to pirana your trying to kill us with that drinking game...

[jillan]

5. The veterans love Biden.

He receives alot of love for the MRAPs.

[Windy]

6. We've had 8 years of a media annointed candidate

and look where that has gotten us.

[Inuca]

14. I beg to differ

Kerry was not "annointed" by the media until he started winning one primary after another, and Gore... well, he was the VP. And both were/are excellent choices. Not to mention excellent men.

7. Biden seems to attract voters with more mature expectations from their government

i think biden supporters seem to occupy a middle ground between "realistic without being pessimistic" and "idealistic without being naive."

[fadedrose]

11. Realistic maybe

Not too much idealistic nor pessimistic, but anchored in reality is what his supporters are. We know he's not perfect and his votes haven't all gone the way we would have liked, but he seems to have integrity and class, lots of class. He'd be the one to shore up our friendships with other countries and at least improve relationships with non-friendly ones.

13. "Do you really want a president who you would NOT think would make a good secretary of state?"

Not sure where I heard that line, but it seems to sum up his quals. He's the one onstage who most deserves to be president.

[Froward69]

17. Joe Biden said that

"Do you really want a president who you would NOT think would make a good secretary of state?"~ Joe Biden

[1corona4u]

20. Exactly

my thoughts.

[Shanti Mama]

16. I'll second that Amen and raise you one

Biden is our last best hope. He's eminently electable.

Inuca -- my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. May your husband staff safe until President Biden can bring him home.

[Inuca]

18. Oh, that was not me!

I just copied something posted on the MSNBC page linked to in the OP.

[Benhurst]

10. I think Joe's about ready to make his move. For the time being

he's Biden his time.

[fadedrose]

12. :)

Wish I'd thought of that ;)

[Odin2005]

15. It seems like Biden is always right, LOL!

That guy is a genius when it come to foreign affairs.

[demommom]

19. Kick

[Auntie Bush]

22. You can say that again!

[CrispyQ]

21. I'm in.

I've got a jumbo bottle of good tequila I've been saving for a special occasion. Think I'll just go ahead & take the following day off!

[Lucinda]

23. I can't drink. Health problems. But I'm sure I can manage

a homemade truffle or two for "the cause" :thumbsup:
