I turn on CNN, there's clips of Biden in Georgia (swoon) A clip of him on the Today show. The pundits don't stop talking about him. The blogs are all about Biden.
Hello?????? Where were you all hiding last year????

And I still think it may get to the point where, as that pundit said (who was that again, P?) "they're going to ask themselves -- why didn't we just pick Joe Biden?"
If Obama's campaign experiences difficulty, I think that question would be on a lot of peoples' minds.
EDIT: I was mad at Obama for running NOW - at this crucial point in our history. I felt he should have waited a few more years. I'm less adamant about that now, but still wonder what it would have been like if he DIDN'T run. I kind of think it would be Biden, Clinton, Edwards -- what do you guys think? And out of those three, it would have come down to Biden and Clinton. And of course, I think Biden would have taken it. :)
What a different scenario we'd have today.

6. I think it would have been very close between Biden |
|
and Clinton. With Edwards, I'm afraid there were too many people who just didn't trust him. It is possible that there could have been a Biden/Clinton or Clinton/Biden ticket.
Oh well, I guess we shouldn't spend too much energy rewriting history, but its nice to dream now and then.

The media turned the primary into a first black man/first woman circus & the voters got distracted. :eyes:

7. And Biden wasn't new and exciting enough |
|
He's been around for so long, that people just took him for granted.

5. Unbelievable, isn't it? |

Well, at least they're talking about him and he's finally getting much deserved recognition.
