I just read the entire transcript from Wide Angel that was posted by Like It Is.

If you are not convinced that Biden has the vast knowledge and in depth understanding of the world and the issues facing our nation, then you MUST GO to the link. If you are sincerely concerned about electing the right one, then take the time. What is a few minutes when it may change the course of our nation forever.

Biden is a great choice, but frankly some of the claims of most experienced, only candidate to do this and that, it is all something someone who hasn't done enough research would say. You like Joe? So do I. But how much EXECUTIVE experience does he have? I think Bill Richardson is worth your time in research. You'll find he's like Joe Biden, but fiercer, more demanding, just as experienced in foregin policy, more experienced in matters of economy, and has real executive experience. He's been called unrealistic by Joe Biden, but he's a highballer, agressive, and is going to give the USA more change than Biden.

So! If you want a more experienced more aggressive Joe Biden that will change this country, please consider Bill Richardson.

I am from Illinois. The only think Obama has done for us since we elected him our senator is run for president- the audacity of hubris. Simply put, he has style but does not have the experience that our next president must have to get us out of the vast abyss Bush and his administration have dug for us. I personally do not want a repeat of the Clinton years, because we have been there and done that and it wasn't that good. Edwards did not even win South Carolina, his homestate, for Kerry in 2004.

Biden is experienced. He is respected. He can bring the country together. The fact that corporate America and the mainstream media have done their best to ignore him speaks volumes to his credit.

Biden 2008!

Biden is a plagerist and runs his mouth too much. That's better than Clinton.

Iowans, watch this Biden video before you caucus. New Hampshire voters, you should watch it too.

battle is on an the reason its a battle is because u guys didnt stick to the ideas that were shared in the start of the race ..instead of being civil you all ganged up on hillary.. instead of showing the world the democrats were united against the neo bush crew you all had fun knocking hillary ganging up on her trying to take her down ..the only one with class out of the bunch was richardson he had to embarass all of you to sto the low blows an dirty cheap remarks ..the deal here is to unite so we never have a president like bush an his gang.. they were all laughung at us while you an obama the prety boy an edwards the worst senator in history jumped all over her while she wanted to attack bush.. i got news for you all they way you guys were knocking her its gonna take alot of doing ti convice voters ure behind her when she wins the nomination is oprah gonna back her when she wins the nomination or is she gonna go back giving cars away an selling books.. stop fighting an get together..we have suffered enough with the bush mob.......

The boys club... still squirming over the inevitable.

Joe Biden can't help himself, he is jealous and can't hold a candle to the Clinton legacy. Too bad, he would make a good vice president given his level of intelligence. Unfortunatelly, men have for too long become complacent in the world of politics, depending on gender to guarantee success in any race.

Times have changed boys. Time to give WOMAN an opportunity to fix what so many men have managed to screw up. Time for the United States to join the new century by allowing competence to override prejudice. Gender is no longer a barrier despite a centuries-old desperate fear men inherently have that WOMAN might inherit the earth.

Their WORST fear is that HILLARY can prove once and for all that women make better leaders than men. Competent leadership is what this country desperately needs to jump-start the economy, create jobs, and regain our former reputation as a world-class leader in foreign affairs.

In fact, the day HILLARY is inaugurated, the entire world will celebrate better times for all. Hope will replace hopelessness. Job opportunities and the economy will get a jump-start and flourish as will the stock market here at home.

Peace will spread over the lands.... the celebration will resemble a New Years party all over the globe. OUT WITH THE OLD, GEORGE BUSH,

AND IN WITH THE NEW, HILLARY CLINTON !

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL !!!

I think Biden is most experienced person in democratic group of candidates, comes out very sincere and humble. He seems pretty stable. He has most relevent experience. He will make a great president. I called his campaign, they said "we donot have star endorsements" Thus fund raising is limited. They were making an effort through his consistant message . He is really likable! He can only be noninee if people see past glamor. Best person to do the President's job is different than the one who appears glamorous on TV. I hope we realize Biden type of experience is the only match to people like McCain. McCain may or may not be the nominee, but he commands respect nomatter what party you belong to.

Biden is clearly the most qualified Presidential candidate. His expertise in foreign policy is unmatched. Biden in '08!!!

Les, I have no idea what you're talking about. Joe ran for the nomination in 1988, and that's it.

Joe is right about this. There's going to be a pretty bitter battle, and Biden or Dodd are much more reasonable people who run more positive, insightful campaigns.

It's a good thing that McCain and Biden are friends if they each got the nomination. For once, we'd see a civil, intelligent debate on the issues that matter instead of ugly swiftboating and underhanded tactics. If we nominated Clinton, we'd see that taken to a whole new level of ugliness.

Les, Biden has run for the presidency 2 times, moron.

AJ, IL

Wrong. Biden would cream McCain. I think the republicking fear Joe......

Joe could beat ANY republickin in the GE. Any of them. And, I'm an Independent. He had me a LONG time ago, and I'm not changing to any other candidate.

Biden is the best candidate; but he is hamstrung by a lack of ready access to lobbyist cash. What's wrong with this picture?

Joe is right, yet again. If you want to avoid a divisive race, and actually win the White House back from the Repubs, vote Biden.

Biden would clean up in the general election. Hillary is divisive while Edwards and Obama don't have the experience, especially with foreign policy.

I think there is truth to this. If McCain, who is gaining a lot of momentum right now, were to win the nomination, can you really see Obama or Edwards being able to stand nose-to-nose with him. With McCain's experience he would eat them alive. I see them both as too weak to be able to take him on. He is a pretty no-nonsense, no flowery-talking kind of guy. Says it straight and respectfully. Biden is the only democrat that could beat him hands down without breaking a sweat. I'm not so sure how Hillary would do. I think she could fare pretty well against him, but I think she is going to have other issues bringing her down during the general (likeability/trust). I think the same way about the candidates should Guiliani get the nomination. Just my 2 cents.........

Joe, I don't know what to say about you, but it seems every 4 years you run for democratic Presidential nomination.

The problem with Joe Biden, he has the habit of putting his foot in his mouth.

Yeah it's too bad the media focuses on the horse rate from Day One. They should look at qualifications, especially the intangible ones. For example, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld had outstanding resumes for their respective positions, but they were miserable failures in office.

Then the scorecard might've looked like this:

Policy wonks: Biden, Richardson, Dodd, McCain

Expertise in foreign affairs: Biden, Richardson, McCain

Proven leaders: Biden, Obama, McCain, Guiliani

Best performance in a one-on-one summit with Putin, etc: Biden, McCain, Guiliani

Common touch: Obama, Huckabee, Thompson

Smart: all except maybe Huckabee

Works hard: all except Thompson

Plastic, humorless control freaks: H. Clinton, Romney

Values image over substance: H. Clinton, Romney

Sorry to bust Biden's bubble but any Democrat who is nominated will have a bitter fight for the presidency. If Biden by some lucky event were to become the Democratic nominee and McCain were to become the Republican nominee, these guys are such good friends that when it came to the general election Biden would lose significantly.

And Biden is right, if Dodd or himself is selected as the Democratic nominee the "temperature of the campaign" would go way down, as republicans became more convinced that they could win the Presidential election in 2008.

It seems every election, the far right and the far left of both parties gives us moderates (of both parties) and independent voters, polorizing and inexperienced candidates. We should ban votes by these far left and far right voters and maybe, only then we can we get a candidate who is experienced in not only dealing with foreign and domestic issues but who is not polorizing and actually has a track record of leading,working and passing bi-partisan legislation. The only candidates that have that resume are Biden, McCain and Dodd, they have the respect and admiration from not only their own party members but the party members of the other side.

Hey Gordon, don't you think if Biden was really in the pocket of special interests like the banks, his campaign wouldn't be one of the most under-funded ones on earth? He takes NO money from the PACs, and he raised about 3% of his Senate coffers from INDIVIDUAL employees of MBNA which is unsurprising since they employ about 2.5% of the workers in Delaware.

Next objection?

Biden's biggest problem is that he's in bed with all the Credit Card Companies.

Dodd is a big Joke.

Edwards is the Democrats answer to Mit Romney;Total B.S.
Against taking money from Lobbys but is in bed with ATLA
He says Hillary won't get Bill Clinton involved with the N.S.C.,but then says he
would ask Bill to join his cabinet if he becomes president.

Go Hillary Your the one this country needs at this time

Impeach Bush,Cheney,and Mc.Cain...................

Way to go, Joe!! I hope all of America, including the 40% undecided Iowa caucus voters watched and listened to you this morning – and I hope they take an opportunity to see you up-close and personal between now and Thursday.

America – the following is from the State Coordinator, Iowa Veterans in support of Joe Biden:

Back home, we were aware that only one Democratic candidate for
President, Senator Joe Biden, kept his promises to us that he would
fight for the funds needed to produce Mine Resistant Ambush
Protected (MRAP) vehicles which dramatically reduce the number of
casualties from improvised explosive devices (IED's). When other
presidential candidates were going back on their word to support
those of us in harm's way, only Senator Biden remained steadfast in
his support, regardless of any political consequences.

While still on the ground in Iraq, many of us from Iowa resolved
that we would go back home and stand up for Senator Biden " just as
he stood up for us on the floor of the United State Senate. We want
to help make sure that our troops still in Iraq will have the best
Commander in Chief possible on inauguration day in 2009.

We also support Senator Biden because he is the only candidate with
the vision and the courage to come forward with a comprehensive and
realistic plan to exit Iraq without leaving the region behind in
mass disorder. It is clear that we need new leadership and a new
approach to allow us to start withdrawing our troops.

I hope that you and thousands of other Iowa veterans will join with
me in working to nominate and elect Senator Joe Biden as our 44th
President. No one else possesses his depth of knowledge and
experience in foreign affairs as well as the vision for restoring
America's proper place in the world community. Please join us in a
noble cause.'

Sincerely,

James D. Mowrer
State Coordinator, Iowa Veterans for Biden.

Over the past months, I have considered Obama, then Hillary and looke long and hard at Edwards. After Bhutto death, it hit me that it is Biden. He makes the most sense out of everyone on both sides. Today I watched him give a brilliant analysis of the the Pakistani situation while all I've heard from the others is that they knew Bhutto and have talked to Musharaff. I loved to see a woman, a black or hispanic have a chance as president but in today's world of climate change, nuclear Pakistan, Al Qaeda and lack of health care we need a president with a very short learning curve and one who can work with Republicans. I wish Biden luck. And I wish this country luck before we make another disasterous choice for president.

Yet another reason to support Joe Biden. He's fully progressive, but not so caught up in the Red – Blue rhetoric. He is admired by all his competitors, and would probably be offered a very high level position in any administration the winner sets up. He is truly senior statesman. So why not make peace within our country, and foster peace in the world, by making the best the top choice, rather than the voice behind the president!

I think Joe is being nice with they way he puts this. I have been saying for a while now that if Clinton or Obama end up getting the Dem nod, the GOP will be well prepared to tear them apart. Think about it. They have been salivating of these two while they are scared to death of having to run against a guy like Joe. Joe is a clear winner in a General Election.

Clinton and Obama will attract more of the same of what we've seen in the last two elections. Wake up Democrats. If you all have any sense, you can see this. Nevermind the fact that he's the only one running who has the experience and intelligence combined to sit in that office after what has happened over the last decade.

We don't need a novice this time around who has to call in the head of the senate foreign relations committee who is in the opposing party to brief him on Europe's leaders because he's never been there. (Yes, Bush called Joe right after he took office to do this...pathetic) We need a president.

A group of independent Biden supporters have launched a website http://www.Dough4Joe.com. with the theme "Promises To Keep."

Taking their theme from the title of Senator Joe Biden's New York Times bestseller, this group of the Senator's supporters in his bid for the presidency have taken on-line pledge drives to a higher level.

No starry symbols–no quotes from great Americans–no fireworks or missiles going off greet you as enter this realm of presidential dignity and comportment. The Biden supporters who built this site feel that while other candidates need "window dressing," their candidate does not.

The group hopes to raise $2 million dollars through a network that spans the entire country. Consistent with their "promises" theme, the group calls upon those who visit and pledge to ". . . make 2008 the year we keep our promises. That's a New Year's resolution worth keeping." For that reason, they have chosen January 1, 2008 as their target date for direct contributions to Senator Biden's campaign-in a very telling display of their level of confidence in Joe Bidens ability to win over voters in the State of Iowa.

In this age of "hedge funds" and other groups packing the end of December with all sorts of fundraising stunts, it is refreshing though not at all surprising to observe that Joe Biden's supporters see no need to hedge their bets.

The simple eloquence of the first line of the message conveys this same dignified tone as it greets and informs the visitor, "You have come here seeking a leader; you shall leave here having led."
