DOVER — U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware made it known in no uncertain terms that he intends to make a bid for the presidency.

Appearing in the Waldron Towers Community Room on Green Street Saturday night, Biden announced his decision.

"I'm running for president, flat out," he said.

Addressing a packed crowd of guests in the building's muggy basement, Biden stressed the importance of being blunt and bold in the 2008 presidential campaign. He said Democrats must let the public know what they believe, what they plan to do about it, and how they plan to do it.

1. Biden is a clown and I would never vote for him. n/t

[VegasWolf]

22. Second that emotion!! nt

[BlueIris]

28. 'nuff said. Can we go back to discussing ACTUAL contenders please?

And no, I don't mean Hillary.

[skipos]

2. I'd like to see a good candidate who is from a flippable red state,

and IS NOT a senator. Biden ain't it.

[mcscajun]

3. I'm making it known in no uncertain terms that I won't support him.

Ever.

Bastard sells us out to the banking interests every chance he gets. He's a mealy-mouthed nothing. Not Presidential timber.

[IndianaGreen]

4. And we do know what Biden believes in: The Long War!

This week Biden voted in support of the Republican "Stay-the-course-until-the-cows-come-home" Iraq war resolution.

[LA lady]

5. Oh NO!

What is happening to our party??? Cna't someone shut this camera hog, egocentric creep up!

[Davis_X_Machina]

6. Irrelevant. Sixth-place finish in Iowa. n/t

[MissWaverly]

7. Please No

Just because he is king of the Sunday Talk shows does not make him presidential material.

[havocmom]

8. Biden is the sound of one hand clapping

What he is clapping is below his own belt. A Biden run for the WH is an exercise for one that involves closed eyes and a lot of imagination. ;)

[VegasWolf]

23. There is only one thing rotating one handed movements are good for!

:evilgrin:

[Old and In the Way]

9. Another Democrat whose time has come

....and gone. Another Joementum candidate. I'm sure he'll get Karl Rove's endorsement.

[Puglover]

10. Memo to Joe

Don't waste your money or our time. What a tool.

[Mist]

11. Biden is an old-fashioned hack pol. He's delusional if he thinks he

has the ghost of a chance.

[OneBlueSky]

12. brought to you by your friends at MBNA . . . n/t

.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Forget it, Joe. It ain't gonna happen in your lifetime. Or mine.

[madaboutharry]

14. This is the problem

Most people, and I am talking about democrats, don't look at things the way people on DU do. They think Joe Biden is A-OK. Democrats are not different than republicans when it comes to seeing the hacks in their own party.

[ccpup]

15. I know a lot of Democrats

and not one of them thinks Joe Biden is a-ok. They see him as someone who will completely annihilate a Bush nominee, come up with point after point about why they shouldn't have the position they're nominated for ... and then turn around and vote for them! I like most Democrats (although that's changing, as of late), but I would never in a million years give my money to or vote for him.

[BayCityProgressive]

16. make me puke

[Doctor_J]

17. Hopefully during the primary, every time another candidate

mentions Biden, (s)he will use the words "enabler", "Smirk's strongest supporter", "Bush apologist", and so on.

[Hardrada]

18. Renegade, traitor, mercenary, Quisling, Vichy dem

are terms that also come to mind. O also Fifth columnist and Judas! & backstabber.

[bigluckyfeet]

19. The guy must be a Repuke

I see him being interviewed more than any other Democrat,there must be a reason the MSM love him.

[hyphenate]

20. Coward and a plagiarist

And more than anything, just another asshole politician. I hope he learns right from the start that no one wants him.

What the fuck is it with some of these people? I mean seriously, are they that stupid? Do they really think that they're presidential material? I guess they see how a moron like the dimson was able to get into the white house, but I guess they believe their own lies about how he got there.

JC, I can't stand most of these asses! If any of them had had balls like Kerry, Kennedy, Dean, Edwards or Boxer all along, dissenting even when it was dangerous, perhaps some of them could be held as heroes in our mind. But not one stinking one of them did anything to nullify their cowardice. The one I hold most in contempt is Daschle, but at least he's out of there, the sniveling ass. There are definitely MANY Dems who are unworthy of their party, and people like Biden top the list.

21. Biden is a *@$$ kisser

From the day * stepped into the oval office(illegally) Biden, just like good old Joe has voted with *. And since the MBNA deal he deserves no respect from the people.

[dysfunctional press]

24. i would prefer the democrats run a candidate with NO senate experience...

i'd really like to see some NEW blood and new IDEAS in the white house- not just more of the same old same old.

[cobalt1999]

30. I agree.

No more senators!

[dysfunctional press]

32. historically, they don't have a very good track record...

no matter how many of them fancy themselves as the next jfk.

[Pastiche423]

25. lol

[high density]

26. "I have a huge ego, flat out."

"And also, I'm a stupid fucking moron, flat out."

[saltpoint]

27. If I strongly favor other Democrats to Biden, I strongly favor Biden over

any Republican who is anywhere NEAR the GOP nomination.

I don't believe his chances are great, but on the merits, I loved his white-knuckled punch at John Bolton, and after 6-8 years of twisted, territorial foreign policy, it wouldn't hurt to have Biden's global geopolitical perspective regarding our allies.

Leaders of other nations need to be able to look with respect to the U.S. president and with the current president, they can't.

Biden would have a much steadier, humane hand in foreign policy than we've seen in recent years.

[Vinca]

29. Good point. I can't stand Biden, but the "anyone but a Republican"

makes all kinds of sense. I'm happy he'll be around New Hampshire for the next couple of years. Maybe I'll get my chance to confront him about his love affair with the credit card companies.

[flordehinojos]

31. other than a delusional system or a lust for power, whatever makes joe

biden think that murricah would vote for him? i know i won't.

[Joe Bacon]

33. No thanks, Senator MBNA.

I'd have to use a whole can of Glade in the voting booth if your name is on the ballot!

[Boo Boo]

34. Joementum, that's what he's got. He's gonna make a complete ass

out of himself. Just you wait and see.

:crazy:

[mod mom]

35. Biden (D-MBNA) -we need a candidate who looks out for the people instead

of the corporations.

[Tracer]

36. Biden is an insufferable gasbag.
