Hi everyone. I am new to this group. I love Joe.
Here is a positive article about him for a change to cheer you guys up:

"Away from the Senate, Biden is all folksy stories and plain speak. At one point, he tells a reporter, standing so close she is staring at his lapel, that he'd like to take some of these Republicans out behind the schoolyard -- "You know what I mean?"

We know. This is the "regular Joe" side of Joe Biden in full swing, the one who takes his coffee black and knows he married well because he has a "brother-in-law with a pickup truck."

This kind of talk goes over big at a labor union hall in Akron. His half-hour speech tends to meander, but when he asks how many people know someone with a house in foreclosure, more than half of the hands in the room go up. And when he repeats his father's advice about falling down, gritting his teeth and commanding "Geeet up!" they do, leaping to their feet in cheers."

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-biden23-2008sep23,0,4764573.story

Joe really connects with the blue collar voters in Ohio and PA and we really need that right now.
Ignore the MSM, they have nothing to really take Biden down with since his unfavorbility ratings are not dropping like Phalin's are. He is a great guy but I didn't know much about him until Barack picked him as his running mate, now I love the guy! He is doing a great job and just seems like such a down to earth regular guy.

1. Hi Jennicut! I've seen lots of your posts "out there" about Joe
and could tell you were another fan. It's been a weird ride for Biden fans...

2. Yes, but hang in there. Obama and Biden are up in the polls.
So Joe could be our next VP and that makes me very happy. We have a stong ticket and the MSM can't really stop the polls from moving in our direction so they try to go overboard by being "fair". However, we have seen some actual news reporting like Campbell Brown actually saying that McLiar is being sexist to Phalin by not letting her speak to the press. Meanwhile Joe speaks to the press practically every day. She met like 3 foreign leaders and he met hundreds (per the Washington Post) The press is starting to notice that she lacks in comparison to him.

4. Thank You. And Joe gave a great speech didn't he?
Lets see Phalin try to contend with that.

5. He sure did...
it always cracks me up though, that the media covers him hoping to get-a-gaffe, but he pulls it off flawlessly. LOL...

6. Hey there Jennicut!
Good to see you over here. I've seen so many positive posts about Joe from you, I had just assumed you had already been here.

Joe is a rare politician who is brilliant but folksy at the same time. As intelligent as he is, he never talks down to people. It is a gift.

11. Thanks everyone!
Thanks for making me feel welcome. I had to get a star to come in here and just hadn't had the chance to make a donation yet. Life is crazy with my 3 and 4 year old girls. I post when I get a chance between my older daughter's preschool and my taking classes at a community college (going to get a certificate to teach preschool). Everyone here is great and I just think Joe and of course Barack too will be great for our country and for my girl's futures. I try to stay pretty positive and roll my eyes at the negativity. We are really lucky this year, we have a great ticket.

12. Enjoy every crazy minute with your girls.
My baby just went away to college, and it seems like just yesterday when I was in your shoes.
That is so great that you are going to be a preschool teacher :)

15. Thanks, they are a handful but lots of fun too.
Only 12 1/2 months apart so its like having twins in a way. Lots of fun but lots of tears and fights over the same toys. Everything has to be the same, clothes, shoes, toys. Taking care of them is exhausting but rewarding too. And we have a big black lab dog we just rescued from a shelter about a month ago. Its a zoo here.

13. All I can say is if you're a 50-something woman with the hots for Joe,
GET IN LINE!

;)

But seriously, glad to have you here. We love our cupcake!

14. Actually, I'm 32 but yeah I think Joe is hot. Age matters not to me.
Okay, he is older then my Dad but I don't care about that. He seems like a wonderful guy. I like Alan Rickman (actor) too and he is 62 so maybe I like older men.

16. There's not a human alive who's not at least 24,769 solar years old. What's
a hundred or so months going to do for me?
