I think Biden should run.
He is good on pretty much all issues. I think he could get a good majority in the primary. He is beloved in DE and the senate.

5. But
What does he bring to the race that isn't already there? National security credibility? Clark. Graham. Kerry. Political experience? Graham. Kerry. Lieberman. Gephardt. Straight-talk, and willingness to bring the fight to Bush? Clark. Dean. Graham....he just has nothing new to bring to the table. I don't think he would win, but I do think his announcement might hurt Clark's announcement indirectly, by forcing the media to cover both late entry stories. And Clark really could win. Overall, I think it would be a bad move on Biden's part.

6. Biden has really been one of the worst
"Lookit me! I'm for the war too, just like my good buddy W." Democrats out there, and I'm one of his constituents. We don't need any more of that, thanks.

7. If He's Your Senator, Please Give Him A Talking-To about the Rave Act
He slipped it into the Amber Bill in conference, so that nobody in either house could
have a chance to vote on it separately. He knew that there was widespread opposition (30,000 faxes and phone calls when it was introduced last year, the unxpected strength of the opposition even made the news), but it seems that
the expressed will of the voters is but a mere inconvenience to him.

This bill purported to be an anti-drug bill, but it is really an attack on our First-amendment rights.
No sooner had it been signed into law that it was used to shut down a *political rally*
by threatening the organizers with felony prosecution under its provisions!!

8. I've almost given up on him.
I've been working on Carper instead, who seems a lot grittier and who has a lot more real life experience than Biden, in my opinion.

12. Not at all
He had a perfectly sensible position. He said that there was a case to go to war without what he thinks is exaggerated intelligence, but because of Bush's actions, our credibility is lessened.

11. Not even kidding, who do you like besides Dean?
Anyone outside of Kucinich, Braun, and Sharpton? Who is your second choice if Dean falls?
