Haven't heard much about the Cory Booker speech.

[redstateblues]

He seemed to be very animated. His “harvest of hate” line is pretty memorable.Will this lift him out or the 1%ers?

1. sounds like you're taunting

...Lawrence O'Donnell just ran Biden and Booker speeches back to back

Should be about community, not poll ratings.

[redstateblues]

4. When did poll ratings become meaningless? Only when

Your candidate takes a hit. When Joe was sagging a bit it was wall to wall coverage. I still saw a lot of Dems Biden bashing today in spite of his powerful speech. I’m still smarting a bit from the piling on and Obama bashing that has taken place.

6. most of what I see of his campaign here

..."Joe's being attacked" and polls.

Today was an exception.

[rpannier]

5. It should be a bout community, but let's be real about this

You need a certain % of support (and money) to remain viable
You can have both community and polls

8. We should be trying to replace trump

Biden gave a truly great speech

[bigtree]

9. I know, I know, Joe Biden became president yesterday

...or something like that.

[Gothmog]

10. Joe Biden is the person who can beat trump in the real world

11. Joe had two other shots at this, and he failed to rise above single digits

...he'll need something other than these early, early polls (and a speech ) to convince me he's the best person to take on Trump.

I'm going to work to elevate someone new to the process.

"Real world."

2. I've heard this mentioned today a good amount. nt

3. It's been all over MSNBC, along with Biden's.

Between the two of them they took a huge chunk out of Trump's hide.

[cwydro]

7. I saw him on both CNN and MSNBC.

Not sure why you haven’t heard much about it.

[Bayard]

12. Lawrence pointed out last night

That neither Booker nor Biden made campaign speeches, or said much of anything about themselves yesterday. It was all about violence, tragedy, cause, and tRump.
