Has Biden Formally Endorsed Any of the Top Three?
Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered in the media, but I have not seen it.

Has Joe thrown his support behind either Obama, HRC or Edwards?

Biden was my guy. At this point I am favoring Edwards as a result of his "non-negotiable" view on Universal Health Care, but Obama has my strict attention. There is definitely something exciting about the passion and fresh inspiration he has brought to this campaign season. And despite the attacks on HRC, I would be completely proud to have her as my President as well.

It's been a long time since the Democratic party has suffered from an embarrassment of riches rather than a humiliating drought, and it's up to us to pick among these very respectable candidates.

1. I thought he threw support to Obama in Iowa
but that may have been Dodd or Richardson. Don't remember now.

2. I'm in the same place you are
I haven't heard that Biden has endorsed anyone. I've gone from Richardson to Dodd to Biden and now to Edwards. Of course, my heart belongs to Gore and I'd jump in a heartbeat. I'm hoping for no clear winner and a draft from the floor. I doubt it will happen, but a girl can dream, can't she?

We could have the best of both worlds with either an Edwards/Obama ticket or an Obama/Edwards ticket, but I can't see him running for VP again.

7. I don't know. I have been thinking about this a bunch
He is playing the "2 for change" card right now, although to bump Hillary, but it has overtones of uniting. How he and Kerry got together in 2004.

I have 2 reasons why this may make sense. Partnering up will make things easier on them all as they can share the load, and I have been very worried about what toll this is taking on Elizabeth.

Second is the financing thing.

Edwards is on message, Obama delivers the message better than anyone out there. Regardless of 1/2 or 2/1 -- I am starting to think this may be our ticket this year.

8. Me. too, and I'd be happy with it
as long as we get some really good, experienced people in the cabinet, like Biden as SofS.

9. No one can touch the man when it comes to foreign policy. None.

And he was the most qualified. Too bad he dropped out.

11. I haven't heard of any endorsement yet
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 07:20 PM by Bellator
I'm not sure it will matter to me.
I am going over the so called top three candidates websites....I did this once before and that is much of the reason I went with Biden.
I see a tremendous amount of rhetoric....not much substance.....this is so unsettling....
Maybe I need to wait a few more days....
