1. Agree.

(aside) I liked Sen. Biden's statement today that he's not going away, he's going back to work in the Senate.

4. Joe Biden, a bit bitter, gives up on his latest campaign
Joe Biden, a bit bitter, gives up on his latest campaign
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/01/running-for-pre.html


Running for president is a tough business, as it should be. Candidates spend long hours wheedling money from people so they can ask others to please vote for them. And those crowds know they have the leverage and they grill the candidates and suck up to them and ask for endless autographs and photos and tell stories about their troubles. And the candidates listen, as they must and should.

And the crowds' cheers are great. And the laudatory introductions. But the days are long. And so are the nights flying somewhere new to start another long day very early. And the fatigue is great.

And only a few win of the many who try.

Delaware's Sen. Joe Biden knew the end of his latest presidential effort was near Thursday night as the Iowa caucus voting began. Biden has spent who knows how many days traveling Iowa and shaking hands and talking earnestly about serious subjects and inane subjects with people he'll never see again.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was visibly frustrated with how the long race had played out. .........
