Biden competitors dropped his name n their own responses.
Clinton: “Joe is absolutely right…” (speaking on Iran)

Dodd: “…Exactly what Joe has identified…” (speaking on Pakistan)

Clinton: “…Bring in my colleagues, like Joe…” (speaking on consensus building)

Clinton: “…I agree with Joe on Afghanistan…”

Obama: “I’m not fearful, just as Joe isn’t… (speaking on Republican talking points)

Obama: “As Joe pointed out…” (speaking on reducing oil dependence)

This is not the first time the “I-agree-with-Joe” phenomenon broke out, for this pattern has evolved over the last several Democratic debates, a good sign that Biden’s resurgence in Iowa is taking hold during the final push toward caucus night in January.

1. one thing just a speculation on my part, but don't be in too
much of hurry to push Biden to the curb, he needs to be listened too, closely. I have not made a decision yet, but I am cautiously watching him.

2. I noticed that,

and considering that Russert gave him the least amount of time than anyone else, it makes it even more impressive.

5. I noticed that also
In every debate I hear that over and over. AND, I've seen Mrs. Clinton constantly shaking her head in agreement with Joe at every debate. It's pretty clear to me that if most of the people on that stage continually agree with Joe, it's Joe that should be leading the free world.

7. They do it because they don't consider Biden to be a threat to them in the primary. (nt)

8. very true, I think

Exactly what I was thinking.

They score points themselves by showing solidarity with fellow Democrats, as well as adopting a reasonable position expressed by one of them, while not handing any points to anyone else who they think matters.

9. They do it because Joe knows what the hell he's talking about.
Can we make this man president already?

10. I'm glad someone put this all together. I laugh thru all of the debates.
Now if Biden would only get called on as much as his name is brought up . . .

13. Well, it appears his opponents compensated for his loss of
time. They may be kicking themselves one of these days - "What the hell were we thinking?"

12. Biden makes pretty good arguments
on his feet. They are smart to acknowledge it.
