Reply #20: Richardson- "poor surprise", me too. Biden is my candidate b/c...

really no one else will do. I care about domestic issues, but for me Iraq and foreign policy in general are NUMBER ONE. I don't trust any of the others. They aren't really tested.

I worry about Hillary big time. Let's say she pulls off a win in the GE, does anyone really think she's going get us out of Iraq and simmer down the rhetoric with Iran? I suspect she will continue to walk this wishy washy tight rope and appease the right in order to be seen as a "centrist" in hopes of re-election in 2012. I just don't see her as someone who sticks to her principles.

I just don't want any more surprises, people who are afraid to speak the truth, and divisive personalities. I trust Joe Biden in that I know what I'm getting. He's a patriot, he's smart, charismatic, bipartisan, tough, and tested. He can be prone to sticking his foot in his mouth, but he's quick to say "I'm sorry" and mean it. To me, that's human. He's comfortable in his own skin and doesn't seem like he just took a poll to see what he should eat, and rehearsed in front of a mirror for hours. He's a natural, a good debater, and I think he'd mop the floor with the repub's in a head to head match. So, with Clark or Gore out of the picture, Biden's my guy. :)
