[cali]

Just heard it on NPR. Makes me sad. He was a Great candidate.

[helderheid]

1. Damn.

[annie1]

2. fuck

[rucky]

3. Shit.

eom

[SaveElmer]

4. That's too bad...

At this pace we will have a nominee within 2 weeks

[Occam Bandage]

5. Fuck. Thanks for the ride, Joe.

[Eurobabe]

6. I heard he was in till end of January>

[alteredstate]

7. This makes me very sad.

[amandabeech]

8. He would have done a decent job.

I would have marched to the polls to vote for him without taking my clothespin along.

[Blue-Jay]

9. That's too bad.

If we're lucky, we'll see him in the next presidential cabinet.

[Auntie Bush]

10. Damn. But he's a great senator or who knows what in the future.

VP maybe.

[Maven]

11. Fuck a duck.

x(

[sandnsea]

12. That's not good at all

I had hoped he would stick it out in case Obama faltered at the end. I just hope he and Dodd don't line up behind Hillary.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Too bad. I'd really come to like him.

But we need him and Dodd in the Senate, too.

[saltpoint]

14. If true, it's the nation's loss.

Biden is one of the last Great Democrats.

Cali, I wonder if you don't mean Chris Dodd.

I'm listening to NPR and there is nothing about Biden leaving the race.

[usregimechange]

No he is in the race for VP

[AwakeAtLast]

34. Which I think is a pretty smart move

I would certainly welcome him as a VP choice!

:hi:

[1corona4u]

[cali]

21. No. It came from NPR. n/t

[1corona4u]

I'll wait to hear it from him.

[juajen]

16. He was wonderful. He was my second choice.

N/T

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Ouch, he really was the best candidate we had

He needs a cabnet postion of Senate Majority Leader spot.

[Renew Deal]

18. He ran an exceptional campaign

He and his supporters should be proud.

[oldtime dfl_er]

19. Seems early to exit

but he's a class act in any case.

[MadBadger]

20. Makes me sad too

I can move my full support behind Barack, but Joe is so great. I really wish more Iowans supported him and more did nationally. I think im gonna keep that pic up for a little longer though.

[zabet]

22. ...

Fuckety fuck fuck fuck.

Sorry Joe....:cry:

[tammywammy]

23. Very sad

I really like and respect Biden. Last night while I was out with friends, the three of us it turned out are Obama fans first. But Biden was a solid second.

[lastliberalintexas]

24. Well, there goes one of my person "top three"

With Dodd gone too. It's a shame we don't have a better political system than Lilliput.

[AlCzervik]

25. It's sad, both he and Dodd.

[dbackjon]

26. Crap. FUCK Iowa and their backassward system.

it destroys all but the media annointed front-runners.

[Kat45]

27. I just heard. I'm so bummed.

I truly believe he was the best candidate running, and I blame all of the media's constant and sole emphasis on "the front-runners," pretty much declaring that they were the ONLY possibilities. I honestly do not believe that either Obama or Hillary can win the general election. And our country cannot afford any more years of republican rule; we'll be lucky to survive the rest of W's term.

[Egnever]

28. Wow

Another great candidate down after the first state :( Biden was originaly my first choice and I thought he would be where my vote likely went in our caucus here. He is a good man and would have been a very calming influence in these turbulent times I think. I am hoping that he rethinks his stance on the VP slot so that we can have a Obama/Biden ticket. I think he could do amazing things as VP traveling the world and sitting world leaders down for some refreshing reality.

Thanks for your hard work Joe ! I understand if you want to retain your position in the senate but it would sure bring a smile to my face to see you on the ticket somewhere.

[jlake]

29. Heartbreaker

[Kindigger]

30. Speech MSNBC

:cry:

[JohnnyLib2]

31. CNN just confirmed. Damn, damn.

And yet -- kudos to both for a sensible reading of their situations.
And on the plus side--two grand Senators.

[HughMoran]

32. Bye-den

I was liking him too! :hi:

[Froward69]

33. god damn sonofabitch!!!!

Iowa and their M$M addiction... Fuck!!!

well I always liked Obama, my only fear is he will be eaten by the political machine. or the learning curve gets shortened.

Biden Was my First choice and then Obama. so now I am sporting my new sig line...
