Here's what it all came down to folks...
Joe was liked...but the people that liked Joe liked someone else better. He was the second choice for MOST Hillary, Edwards, and Obama supporters...but those three were never "not viable" so Joe didn't benefit from reallignment. Joe was not well known enough and did not get his momentum going until too late in the game, and Joe has three decades on the "inside" and people overwhelmingly stood up and voted for change last night.
That's what it is. There isn't anymore.

1. I will say that I have yet to hear one single person say...
Oh, I don't like Joe Biden. Everyone liked Joe Biden. They were just there for one of the top 3. It was a personality contest. They voted with their hearts, not their heads.

3. The media certainly takes a lot of the blame
and I like blaming them right now.

4. My brother was right -
He told me months ago that Biden would never win, that he was too smart and made too much sense.
People don't go for that.

Guess Biden would have been better off if he was a cheerleader.

I'm pissed at the msm too.
