Biden knows a lot about foreign affairs, but what does he know about the economy?

"It's the economy, stupid!" -- yet reporters are not asking Biden or the other candidates what they would do as president if there is a financial melt-down (aka recession, or worse depression).

A financial disaster is just as likely to occur as is Bush ordering an attack on Iran. Both would be catastrophic, and I want to know what the candidates would do if they became president and were faced with the consequences of either a financial collapse and/or a war with Iran.

Biden. Egotistical pompous windbag.As he singlehandedly keeps Amtrak alive so he has daily door to door service from Delaware to D.C., he stalks the press so
as to give his opinion on everything and
anything regardless of any knowledge of the subject.

He is a cartoon character somewhat like
Boss Hogg. He is almost as embarresing as GOre of Tennessee; well almost.

You mean Biden hasn't dropped out of the race yet? What is he waiting for?

Great question Karen. Now, what have the Demos done since controlling the senate and the house? Answer: NOTHING!

Will the American people find enough wisdom in themselves to elect the most qualified candidate with the most experience, knowledge and non-agenda thinking that can lead to less war and more cooperation among nations? What a concept!

What arrogance. When was the last time a sitting senator was elected as president? Maybe there is something to be said about having that as a background that turns people off - arrogance is one of them. The last several presidents could not be said to have foreign policy experience. With their warts and all, the past administrations had had advisors.

Joe Biden has the most experience,is the best speaker, and is the only candidate that has practical concrete solutions for both national and international problems. Sen. Biden is what Americans say they are looking for in a Presidential
candidate. He's speaks a familiar plain middle class language. More importantly we need
someone in the presidency that has extensive foriegn policy experience
to extricate us out of Junior Bush's hellish mess.

guiliani is a fake, an adulterer, profitted from 9/11, and is a bully. he has no business being president. biden i like.

Biden is the only qualified candidate of either party. If he's elected, maybe he'll allow the flag-draped coffins of our troops to be photographed as they arrive in Delaware. I believe he'll make the number of those coffins decrease and stop. The Bush administration hides behind protecting the sensitivies of the soldiers' families. They much prefer one sentimental hometown hero story to appear in the news at a time. They don't want the country to see them arrive en masse. War is over, if you want it. Biden is experienced and honest. After enduring the smirks of Bush & Cheney for all these years, it would be a relief to see Biden flash that smile.

Biden is the real deal and is the best candidate from either party. He's also the best statesman and knows how to build consensus, as he's demonstrated throughout his career in the Senate. He's been tested personally, is smart as a whip, has excellent instincts, and can relates well to the average American. If the Clinton Machine weren't as powerful as it is, Biden would be a 1st tier Dem candidate. Hopefully, Iowans will trust their instincts and put their support behind Biden. We need him!

The socialist party calling the kettle black? Bunch of blowhards. I'm not voting democratic or republican, I'm voting for Huckabee who is a conservative 1st. He may be in the republican party, but he istruly a conservative. He stands for:
1. Smaller government
2. Lower taxes
3. Border enforcement
4. Employer penalty for hiring illegals
5. Not loosing the war on terror

Pretty simple stuff. Blocking and tackling. Screw the party lines and rethoric. Vote for the individual who stands for something other than big buisness. If he is not elected, it will be because of the fact that our country is now run by big buisness not the people. Understand that! The people need to take the government back from the corrupt political machine run by big business.

Guiliani may not have experience in foreign policy but ALAN KEYES does.

I like Biden too. Well, basically anyone other than a conservative republican would be good.

Also, we need someone willing to try to communicate with the potential enemy, not just go to war with it. We did that w/N. Korea, and now they are backing down. It makes more sense, saves money and lives, and keeps enough resources where if an actual attack occured, we'd have the national guard here to help instead of being in Iraq fighting a civil war.

I truly believe that he is the most qualified and experieced democrat on the ticket. I believe that Hillary and Obama are unelectable. It's a sad, but true statement about our country.

When did we all stop being Americans and become either Democrats or Republicans? We have been using the party lines to divide the country deeper and deeper in half. It has lead to the election of some very questionable people (Bush being one)and will ultimately lead there again. Let's face it Hillary is too radical and hence unelectable. What's that leave? Maybe someone should try a moderate candidate? You cannot counter Bush conservatism with Gore/Kerry/Clinton liberalism! You will lose every time!

biden who?

I usually do not agree with Senator Joe Biden but he is 100% correct about Rudy Giuliani knowledge based on experience with Foreign Affairs. It is a matter of fact that all the candidates in both political parties lack significant Foreign Affairs experience except for Biden, McCain, and Richardson. The records of facts show that Gov. Richardson has the most balanced experience and accomplishments of all the candidates in Foreign Affairs and domestic matters when you get down to the record. Does a candidate's real-life experiences and accomplishments in Foreign Affairs count or just the power of the statement by the candidate capital enough as credibility and expertise? (e.g., Former Mayor Giuliani, Senator Clinton, Former Gov, Mitt Romney, Senator Obama, Former Senator Thompson, Senator Edwards, Former Gov. Huckabee) Does power of statement trump accomplishments in politics? When I lived in Missouri, we had a saying "Show Me," do not tell me, show me the proof - what, when, where, scope and the results. It will truely be sad if the American people make another error in judgement based on face value and not substance of record.

Well, what's ironic about this is Senator Barack Obama said this 3/4 months ago and he did not get the same respect. I think you (the media) and Mrs. Hillary Bill Clinton need to apologize to the senator. This again shows good judgment and it always take the media months/years to reach the same conclusion, I think we need to report news to the media instead of them reporting to us, if they continue this way the American people will never catch up, American will always be behind in the world's media and economic position if we continue reporting that way. Thank God America have somone like Mr. Biden to shed some light, it seems like he is the only one other than Obama that's willing to stick theirs head out for our country which we love so much

Don't let the media dictate who you vote for. It's not a choice between Clinton and Obama or Romney and Giuliani. Make up your own mind. I've listened closely to all the candidates and I'm voting for Biden, no matter how many pundits tell me he's a longshot.
