WHAT IS WRONG WITH JOE BIDEN?
2/1/07
Since his Obama “is fresh and clean”,statement Joe Biden has already lost a few more potential votes. Based on his record (see opensecrets.org) he’s got a good civil rights track record and votes for most minority issues as well as all the other Democratically correct issues. His biggest campaign donors are lawyers and law firms. He’s been in the Senate since 1972. There is really nothing in his record that says he’s outstanding, nor is there anything that condemns him to liberal voters.
So far he’s sitting on 3,300,000 million and change in his war chest. That isn’t very much considering he’ll need 100 million to compete with Hillary. With all of his normal senatorial similarities what makes Joe Biden presidential material? What makes anyone presidential material except for ambition? Joe Biden has a weakness for shooting off his mouth. He’s been overheard many times by press reporters and network microphones at different functions, peppering his listeners with vulgarities, off colored jokes and ethnically insensitive comments, but so has Hillary and many other notable senators , congressmen and presidents.
The problem with Joe Biden, as far as I can tell, is that he doesn’t know when to shut up, and he has a slight problem with plagiarizing British MP speeches. Maybe these are serious character flaws for a Presidential Candidate, but it hasn’t seemed to hurt him as a senator. His off colored, off camera remarks, have actually helped him stay in the public eye through out his career. He’s a darling of the mainstream media. He’s been on Meet The Press almost as often as Joe Lieberman and John McCain.
As another presidential candidate I hope Joe Biden can stay in the race at least through the primaries, before he shoots himself again by saying something stupid. I look forward to seeing him in the primary debates. He will add drama to an otherwise boring panel of candidates, as the nation waits to hear another Joe Biden Blooper.
