Anyone else wish Biden was in this debate?
Seems like he really would've nailed these foreign policy questions.

9. Agreed. Ugh. Thanks a lot, Iowa.
I don't feel nearly as confident on foreign policy. Maybe they don't want to give a lot of specifics for fear of alienating people or providing cover, but all questions give me a painful longing for Joe up there.

12. Yes, absolutely
His voice should be a part of this discussion. I'm hoping he'll accept a VP position..and that Obama asks him to join him on his ticket. :-)

14. No, and I like Biden. This debate is great because
they're letting the candidates get deeply into the issues.

18. Being a diehard Biden supporter, I have to say that he intimidated the others...
that is the only explanation I have for their sudden rise in passion, and willingness to discuss foreign policy. I think Bidens depth of knowledge and abilities simply intimidated them. Considering the egos on that stage that is saying something!
