Kucinich really hit a few home runs too... don't flame me but I have to say that I think the republicans would eat him alive however. he'd never get past the UFO commment...

Biden was formidable.

5. If Hillary doesn't pick him for VP..
I'll be very disappointed. He's strong, knowledgeable, knows where he's going and has learned from where he's been!

13. Biden WILL NOT be Hillary's VP.
He's already said that.

22. You know what they say..
Edited on Thu Nov-15-07 11:56 PM by Tellurian
until they get the call..I believe he would take it..VP spot is nothing to sneeze at. Not after all the leeway (re. power) Cheney has appropriated to the position.

3. Keep an eye on Biden. If you're like many of us, he'll keep looking better and
better to you, the more you learn of him.

I thought Dennis kicked butt - In other debates, because they wouldn't give him much time -- he came off as inconsequential (except for his answers, of course). Tonight he ROARED!

I've always liked Obama, but am just uncomfortable with his lack of experience at a time when the whole world seems to be crashing down around us.

4. I actually looked at the two and saw the ticket any Dem could be proud of - Biden/Obama
Biden has been proving to be much more than he has shown over the years on the talk show circuit.

9. Obama would show the world that the US has evolved. He's experienced the world out of the US
He is intelligent, diplomatic, a deep thinker... He does impart a feeling of hope. Honestly think of the impact that it would have in foreign relations for Obama to speak directly to the rest of the world, as he said that he would tonight, and say that its a new America... we are ready to work with you, not against you...

part of me things Obama/Biden. either way, a winning ticket!

6. Won't the wingnuts plant the seed of...
"plagiarism" with him? Of course, Corporate Media won't bother to sweat the details and I see it up there with Internet/Love Story lore.

7. The difference is Biden would say, "Hey man, that's ancient history" and flash a smile
A little personality goes a long way toward defusing those little issues.

(Or even giant issues, as in Reagan's case)

20. I do like that East Coast smart-ass Biden has going on...
and I say that as a fellow East Coast smart-ass. I can still hear Mt. Saint O'Lielly frothing over it, however, ad nauseam...

10. I really don't think anyone cares about the UFO comment.
I think people are reading too much in to that. There are tons of Americans that believe the same thing. I Kucinich claimed he was anal probed by aliens I think that's where most people draw the line.

What is weird is Hillary talking bipartisanship as if you can find common ground with crazy people. That just stinks to me as an outclause to not really have to stand on your record or keep promises.

Kucinich on the other hand is the only candidate up there not afraid of his record. He doesn't fear any questions and kicks ass. Everyone on that stage fears Dennis.

12. Unfortunately with the sorry mental capacity of a lot of people in this country
simpleminded attacks work. Fact of life. the last 8 years are proof.

21. Conflicted but I always come back to Biden
Hoping he'll move up as America gets to know him.

I've donated to 3 different candidates, but from now on my little donations go to Biden.
