I am an Iowan and a precinct captain for Joe Biden. I've never been involved in this political stuff before, and even after I knew Joe was running it took me a while to overcome inertia and get involved. But I knew that Joe would make a terrific president. Just for starters he actually IS middle class. He started in the senate 35 years ago as the poorest senator and has worked himself up to the 2nd poorest one now. He doesn't believe that a person should profit by being in public office and has never been beholden to corporations. When you have enough stregth of character and integrity you just say "No."

He has so much more experience and quality of experience in foreign affairs than Hillary. He has always been hands-on, going to see what a situation is for himself, and sometimes confronting evil people like Milosevic face to face. He is able to see the bigger picture and know how foreign and domestic policies interact in a world grown smaller where everyone else's problem is your problem too. He see's thing's coming. The day before 9/11, in a speech he told Bush that the Star Wars defense project was a waste of money because our biggest threats were more likely to show up in the hold of a ship or the belly of an airplane. He was talking about the danger of Pakistan when everyone else was talking about Iran.

He has been a champion of civil rights, the underprivileged, the uneducated, the little guy. He has been a champion of the environment, and has commuted by train from Delaware to Washington for all of those 35 years which began with the tragedy of his wife and baby daughter being killed in a crash, by a drunk driver, when he had two motherless little boys who were badly hurt in that crash to look after.

He has been tested and come through with flying colors. You can't do any better than Joe Biden. I have no second choice. I'm backing the best horse in this race.

I wish I lived in Iowa. Biden is the only one who would get my vote!

I'm an undecided caucus-goer, courted by every Dem except the one I wanted: Dennis Kucinich. He chose to Skip Iowa and bet on New Hampshire or beyond, and I say he took bad advice. But the point here is about Joe Biden. As a jilted Kucitizen looking hard for any other candidate who could offer a cabinet-level Department of Peace, I ask 'em all, and they all give decent answers, to the effect that his or her White House will use its Department of State as the real peace office it was intended to be. Not good enough! I want humanitarian-intervention and war-prevention capacity and strategy ready to go and represented in Situation Room and at Cabinet table. But, if I have to settle for second best, I'm surely attracted to the one whose record says he's got the best chance to pull it off, and that's clearly Biden. Of course, I want the Democrat to win, too (odd stance for a Kucinich supporter, I've been told), and I like things about each one. So I vacillate among fantastic second choices.

People just need to believe.

Joe Biden has the most experience and has a record of sound judgment and bi-partisan initiatives. He may not be a rock star, but is very presidential: Confident, Wise, Decisive. If more people would research the entire field rather than just following the media like groupies toward the rich and over funded, then they might realize that there are still leaders who are faithful to the American Spirit.

Joe Biden can pull undecided voters and moderate Republicans who are dissatisfied with the current political landscape.

Believe in Experience, Wisdom, Unity. Believe in America. Believe in Biden!

I'm a Republican who generally votes Democratic at the national level and I implore the Democrats to PLEASE nominate a candidate with strong crossover appeal. Let's not have Kerry 2.0. Biden would definitely be at the top of that list, followed by Obama and Dodd, all of whom have shown through the campaign that they're pragmatic, smart and not political lightning rods. No matter what HIllary's people tell you, she's going to be a much, much tougher sell to Independents and moderate Republicans, because she cannot change the climate in Washington. Poll after poll bears this out.

Biden's the man!
