I could enthusiastically vote for Joe!

At least not much before the first primary. Not after losing his son.

And your link is to an article from last March, several months before Beau Biden's hospitalization & untimely & tragic death.

It stuns me that anyone could be so insensitive to a parent's loss of a child, and a family's loss of a son, brother, husband and father. Perhaps you are relatively young and still at that stage of life where the only loved one you've lost is an aged grandparent.

Biden is not like many highly successful men who neglected their families to pursue their careers. His is and always has been a very close family.

Joe is a lot stronger than you think, after the loss of his wife he almost did not take his oath to be a Senator but was convinced to go forward and did great things including getting the "Violence Against Women act" passed.

As for my life experience you know nothing, not only have my parents passed away I have seen my first son through Cancer treatment nearly losing him in 2008. Not everyone handles death of a loved one the same way. I am not "insensitive" Joe's loss and I do not see him as someone who is in Politics as a way to "pursue his career" rather Joe is a rare politician much like Bernie who speaks the truth to power.

I believe that Joe truly wants to serve the larger family of mankind having experienced so much of lives ups and downs. Joe know how fleeting life is and I think he wants his life to be one of service not ambition.

His son just passed and the man is in pain and you are upset he
is getting into the race for President? What is the matter w/you?

I posted this article that I saw for the first time as a "good read"

I do not expect he will run anytime soon but the article had some good points, and yes I know it was written before Joe's resent loss of his son.

Joe has been a great Vice President .... he disagrees w/Obama sometimes but
in private ...... , a good senator, a very good husbsnd and father, and has gone
much pain too so I wish him well and peace. Maybe teaching a class or two and
being a full time grand dad might be good for him.

And I even met him- and got a kiss on the cheek from him when he came to my city Greeley, CO!

I prefer someone who will run on a progressive agenda and not change it when they reach the White House. Biden is an Obama man now. He doesn't owe his soul to the progressive elements of the party.
