Many positive comments about Joe at Capital Hill Blue
This was uplifting to read - check out the many comments after the op.

<We lost the only candidate who has shown over the years that he is honest, kind, compassionate, intelligent, strong and very, very experienced--Senator Joseph Biden of Deleware. All because of a misunderstood remark made early in the race. We shot ourselves in the foot when we dropped him, and I surely wish that he could, like the Phoenix, rise from the ashes and run. Perhaps he would consider the office of Vice President.>

1. LIke it
I don't for a second believe that Joe is out of this race simply because of a single misinterpreted comment.
I am more and more convinced this whole thing is orchastrated......It bothers me to say this out loud because I sound like a tinfoil hat person..:tinfoilhat: ... This whole thing has progressed in a perfect way to set the Democrat party back years.....I am starting to wonder if that was just by chance....I not only worry about losing the Presidency. I am now starting to worry about losing congress. If people are getting as disenfranchised as is being reported...it sounds like many democrats won't even show up to vote.

Now is the time for a real uniter....Joe would be just the person that could do that...

2. Oh I agree that his one comment did not
have such a major effect as some would like to believe. The front-runners were selected long ago and anyone else didn't have a chance. The whole situation is deteriorating rapidly and I could have never envisioned things getting this bad.

3. I agree about the comment too.
It may have started his campaign on the wrong foot, but he was completely ignored by the media.
They never gave him or Dodd a chance.

And if either Biden or Dodd were our frontrunners, we would be talking about the economy and Iraq
instead of race and gender...and as I said in gd-p.... if Biden was our nominee, McCain would be poopin in his pants right now...instead of gaining in the the polls.

5. They must be having server problems today
I tried to going to their site and it was "unable to connect". Maybe it will work later. There were a lot of really positive comments worth reading.

6. Remember that Sunday Morning (I think) news show where they were saying
at some point we'd all be going "why didn't we just go with Biden?"

Sigh.

Even though Hillary and Obama have both done good things for our country and their constituents and have energized the voting public, I can't help but resent them each a little for taking the focus off of "what" and putting it on "who". I know it was unintentional on their parts, but I can't help it....

7. I remember that
and now I'm starting to hear it.

Good point about the focus being on "who" instead of "what". I think it is a cultural thing. We tend to be personality driven, always looking for the next celebrity, not the next leader.
