    No harm?

    The chattering folk were blithering yesterday--at least, they said often, Biden does "no harm." I like Joe Biden--his passion against the war (he voted for) moved me many times--the coffins coming into Delaware and so on. But he also was involved or touched by the Scruggs thing, has taken a lot of contributions from credit card companies and then was involved in that horrible banpruptcy bill, and I am not even counting the Neil Kinnock lifts and possible copying while he was in law school. No one is a virgin in this game. But even Joe Biden, who is by all accounts a decent person (though not so poor, I notice from his house), will not make me vote for the ticket with Obama at the top. I may have an out of body experience doing it, but I am probably voting Republican for the first time in 45 years. Or I may write in and stay in my body.
