14. I was uneasy about him at first because of
his lack of relevant experience and awkwardness in the debates. Then came the "gospel tours" which were much too religious for me - so he won over the southern black vote, but lost a lot of the base. If I wanted a preacher-type president, I'd vote for Huckabee.

Then he dissed an entire generation and an era that made it possible for him to be a viable candidate for president! I'm not ready to be put out to pasture quite yet.

Then he starts talking about Reagan, while portraying the Clinton years as insignificant. That appeared to be an attempt to attract Independents and republicans. Whoops, there goes some more of the base!!!

You know, Biden never tried to appeal to a certain segment of voters. He was appealing to American voters of all ages and all races.
