So are any of you checking out the GDP

[malta blue]

threads about Biden - where is all this praise coming from? Where were they way back when? I was supporting Biden from the start, and when he dropped out, I hesitated long and hard before I chose another candidate to support.

I have always defended Biden to the naysayers in GD P (as recently as last week) but now, as it appears Joe might get the nod, people are loving him? I know if Joe gets the nod, I will feel so great on election day, but I wonder what is up with all the bandwagon jumpers over there....

1. It's kinda aggravating.

Especially to hear that Tweety just read his book last weekend.

Where were these people last year?

4. last year they were saying Hillary was inevitable

:rofl:

2. I can only guess it's people who are OK with him for VP but not for Pres?

or are just now learning about him beyond the stereotypes.

5. that is such a cop-out

:hi:

[Muttocracy]

7. who knows? I don't get it! :)

8. not you - them.

:hi:

3. Somebody posted -- was it you? --

that back then, people would say they liked Biden, "but he doesn't have a chance so I'm supporting...." I'd forgotten about that. So maybe there were more pro-Biden people than it seemed at the time (although we were in the definite minority)

Also, I think people just got caught up in the enthusiasm of Obama or Hillary and didn't really pay close attention to the other candidates. Like, why look further?

6. well the media never gave him a chance either.

My mom was Obama all the way - from the beginning. Me - Biden. Mr MB - I converted him early so I can say he was Biden from the start. Ths will be a happy home :D

16. So true. The media created the first black man/first woman frenzy

& the people played right into it.

I'm thrilled Biden is on the ticket, I just think it should be the other way around - Biden/Obama. Oh well.

9. And all the pundits and journalists

who essentially ignored him, now they can't praise him enough. Matthews finally read Joe's book!

[TuxedoKat]

10. Well, I'm fairly new to DU but always liked Joe...

in fact I probably would have voted for him if he hadn't dropped out before my primary. Anyway,
I'll be thrilled if he's picked. I haven't been able to get away from my computer for most of the day because I want to hear it's Joe.

12. Hey there, welcome to DU

and of course, welcome to Joe's support group!

[Muttocracy]

13. Welcome aboard! We're boisterous but friendly :-)

[medicswife]

19. Yeah, welcome!!!! n/t

[Eurobabe]

11. Well, better late than never...

I just wish the usual DU crepehangers would STFU.

[Muttocracy]

14. been beefing up my ignore list all day

:eyes:

[Eurobabe]

15. I think Dominoes will be busy when it is official

in the meantime I am alerting.

[Eurobabe]

17. Everybody loves a winner baby....

:hi:

[medicswife]

18. Yeah, I know, huh?

What the heck? It's because Joe IS a regular guy. Nobody really knew that much about him. I still think he'd have made the best Pres. but I'll so take this!!!!!
