Reply #4: Why Biden?

[IndianaGreen]

I don't agree with everything Biden says or believes in, but he is the real article. Biden is the straight talker, and there is no doubt where he stands on the issues. Speaking of issues, Biden is the only "grown up" when it comes to Iraq and Iran. As far as experience goes, Biden has the entire "top tier" beat several times over.

While Kucinich remains my sentimental favorite, Biden is my pragmatic choice for President.

The above is an excerpt of what I posted on the Biden group in mid-October. I have no reason to regret becoming a Bidenite. In an era of parsing, triangulation, and spin, it is refreshing to see and hear a candidate that tells you what he means, and means what he says. Biden also has a good grasp of the foreign policy collateral issues that the other candidates from both parties seem so woefully ignorant of. For example, Biden's discussion of the consequences to Pakistan and Afghanistan of a US attack on Iran was ignored by the media, but not by yours truly.
