1. Thanks for the heads up
I just predicted that he has already spoken with Musharraf, do you think he has as well?

2. Thanks for posting this. I'll be sure to tune in.
I look to Biden's wisdom on the matter.

5. Chances are good that they will
He brought up Pakistan in the debate, a couple of days before Musharraf declared martial law, and that got him a lot of press coverage. I think that because of his prescient comments during that debate they can't help but cover him. They've talked to nearly every other candidate, even Chris Dodd just a few minutes ago.

10. I think they might talk to the "kitchen sink" first!
Geez, even if he wasn't a presidential candidate, he IS chairman of the Foreign Relations committee.

6. MSNBC just had a clip of Romeny's comments
and a short interview with Chris Dodd. They mentioned many of the candidates, but not Biden, who has been outspoken about Pakistan.

8. I'm guessing the media will finally
do the right thing and cover Joe's conference. Let's hope so. I really want to hear his thoughts. More so than anyone. As we all know, Joe has more foreign policy experience and knowledge than all the candidates running (on both sides).

20. MSNBC is too busy interviewing Ghouliani, giving him a big platform to spew
his supposed great FP Experience. This is disgusting.

29. Now we're getting Joe Scarborough
kissing Rudy's butt. This is really pathetic. Then asked about the Democrats he didn't even mention Joe Biden. Can you believe these people??!!

I just don't get it. Shame on the media! Shame on them! They're making sure the best qualified candidate NEVER gets his time. It's an American Idol world and it makes me vomit.

30. Huffington Post says news conference is @ 12:00 CST, not EST
An article @ huffingtonpost.com noted that Biden's press conference is scheduled to take place at Noon CST, which would be 1 P.M. on the East Coast...so the cable channels still have about 20 minutes before we can attack them for failing to cover Biden yet again.
