So, who is going to give Biden money for the 2008 race?

Biden Is "Running"

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza obtained a fundraising letter sent out by Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), in which he declares, point blank, that he's "running" for president.

Democratic fundraisers say Biden has been forthcoming with them in private, saying that he is almost certain to run if he can raise enough money by early 2007 through his PAC. Someone who has spoken with Biden about it says "he is definitely running."

Why is Biden so aggresive? And why did someone give the Post a fundraising letter?

One theory: to blunt Warner-iana. The VA Gov has the luxury of ginning up for an '08 race as early as January, far before many others.

Another theory: Dems who want to run in '08 have to raise more money early on to blunt the expected Clinton fundraising juggernaut. Expect virtually every major candidate to blow public financing caps.

[Sanity Claws]

7. Not Me

Let him go to the credit card companies. He wrote the bankruptcy bill for them. I'm going to make sure every regular person understands his role in preventing people from declaring bankruptcy even when medical bills are the reason.

8. Biden

Mr. all bark no bite. Paaaaaaaleeeeeze

[Debi]

10. I realize I'm replying to my own post...

but I vote no as well. He sold the party out, not really the way to ask for the nomination :eyes:

[Rowdyboy]

11. It won't be me. More likely he'll look to credit card companies, banks,

and insurance companies will provide what little he collects.

Biden has an overinflated ego and no natural support base in the party. Warner, Edwards and Clark are all far more attractive candidates that appeal to the same basic constituency.

[Catamount]

12. Not from me either!

Give me Kerry(with some misgivings) or Clark, but I'd really like to give to Paul Hacket
:patriot:

[Ian David]

20. I'd pay him to speak at a commencement address-- but only after he retires

I like the Biden that speaks.

I do not like the Biden that votes.

It's really too bad that those are two completely different people.

[GRLMGC]

21. No

I'm not like anti-Biden due to his stances on positions. It's just that he has such a bad personality.

[skipos]

22. We need candidates from red states we can win.

That, amongst other reasons, is why I won't give him any $.

[Pithy Cherub]

23. IF Anita Hill, gives first...

there's a dollar in it for him. :silly:

[leesa]

24. You're joking, right?

[zulchzulu]

25. MBNA employees...

Biden will drop out in 2007 for the race in 2008.

[Auntie Bush]

26. Wes Clark is the first, last and only person I have ever

[FrenchieCat]

someone like him has a price, of that I am sure!
