I encourage my fellow Obamites to give some dough to Joe Biden.
I think he is a wonderful candidate, much better that one of our main opponents (you know who I'm talking about), and it is a pity that he doesn't have enough money to run an ad on an Iowa newspaper. That's not fair for someone who has what it takes to be a great president or, even better, a great VP for Barack Obama (sorry, Bidenites!). :)

Let's help the man out.

3. Well, I have to say, Obama-Biden would be one of my more favored possibilities.
I've come to respect your guy quite a bit more since he took off the gloves.

5. Fund two candidates?
That seems odd to me. I might do it if I was invited to two "fundraisers". I could imagine that for local races for opposing primary candidates who I already know. For a presidential race, I think funding represents an "endorsement"

7. I really like Biden.
Obama is my candidate and I want him to win, but if he were to lose, let it be to Biden or Edwards.

By the way, I want Biden to be Obama's VP choice.

9. I've encountered a lot of people who support more than one
candidate. It really isn't that unusual.

17. I have sent money to
several of the candidates and sent Biden a donation today. I haven't made up my mind yet but there are several I'd like to hear more from.

I wish more DUers were empathetic
towards the democratic candidates
that are not their pick.

25. Hey pirhana -- I love that pic of Bono and Biden. I was a bit of a
teeny bopper fan of U2 back in the days, and I still love Bono!

18. I would if I had some to give. With xmas, budget is totally tight
I have a big family and it is really expensive. Even on a budget. After the holidays I would love to give a few to Joe. I think he is great.

19. You know, I'm really tempted to do that.
I respect Biden a lot, and he needs more attention.

20. We have a good lineup of candidates, however, Biden has the
longest record of experience, quite well known, and has proved to be a loyal Democrat. He is no flash in the pan, speaks honestly and exudes a sense of trust-worthy-ness.

21. Thank you, Katzenkavalier. That's extremely nice.
You're right. It's too bad our system requires our candidates to raise such vast amounts of cash. You reflect well on your candidate, who happens to be my first choice (for vp :headbang: ). Thanks again!

23. What nobility, what grace, what chivalry... you rock :-)
I gave money to Biden..

But I also gave money to Edwards and Kucinich and Obama. They've all inspired me at one time or another. I remain undecided. It is quite impressive to see this kind of goodwill here.. exactly how Democrats SHOULD operate and exactly how we will take this country back. Thank you.

29. K&R Although I can't right now I did a month or so ago.
Really, Biden is the best candidate IMO, and he's become my favorite, but Obama's my 2nd favorite, and I think he has the best chance of beating HRC in the primary. A month or so ago, I decided Biden needed my money more than Obama, who I had already donated twice to, so I donated to Biden then. VP would be fine with me!

31. Just made my first donation of the election
to Biden, who is definitely the guy who can win this election. I'm terrified of what would happen if Obama or Clinton were nominated, even though I like them both. Joe Biden can beat ANY republican. If supporting him is wrong, I don't want to be right ;-)

33. Thanks to everyone....
Just got this email from the campaign;

"Because of you, more than 500,000 Iowans are seeing our "Joe is Right" ad in their newspapers today. Over the holiday weekend, you raised more than $51,000 so we could run this print ad in the seven largest newspapers in Iowa: the Des Moines Register, Cedar Rapids Gazette, Davenport Quad City Times, Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier, Sioux City Journal, Dubuque Telegraph Herald, and Burlington Hawkeye. You are making a real difference in this campaign."



Go Joe....

38. Just a 'thank you' for helping Biden reach his goal..
I was thrilled when I got the email today. This is the kind of thing that makes us little people feel like we really CAN do something meaningful.. I mean, since they don't count our votes anymore and all :-)
