I sat in on a conference call with Joe Biden tonight. It was geared toward the military.
He says it like it is, and I admire him for that. It was refreshing to hear his concerns and ideas to remedy them in such a manner that you felt he was sitting across the table and visiting with you, rather than reading from a prepared speech. He peppers his speech with a little blue, but that was OK, because I've been peppering mine with a few of those blue words myself.

I'm still with him and will continue to follow his speeches to see if there is anything that turns me off. So far, so good. If you get a chance to participate in one of his conference calls, do it. He's easy to listen to.

Go, Joe!

1. I do like Joe Biden
He's a straight shooter, and that's rare these days. For me it's a toss-up between him and Dennis. Hillary is right out. Obama is right out. Edwards is above Joe and Dennis, however, any of those three would make excellent Presidents.

2. He's got skin in the game. He's winning me over for a lot of reasons. nt

3. Smart and articulate, knows foreign policy inside out. I was stunned when he voted for the
bankruptcy bill.

One issue doesn't make or break, but that's the burr in the saddle for me.

I haven't heard that he's particularly pro labor, however, I have yet to research that.

I do love to hear him speak extemporaneously, though. It's absolutely invigorating! MKJ
