17. I prefer Joe to Hillary.

Dec 2011

Hillary can be very harsh and snooty. Joe is much more mellow.

Hillary attracts a lot of resentment from conservatives. Joe doesn't.

I'm happy with Joe Biden. Hillary is a war monger. There is a video of a meeting she had with Code Pink on the Iraq situation apparently prior to the war. Hillary did not handle it at all well.

Of course, Biden would make a better diplomat, but then Hillary a heartbeat away from the presidency is not something I would feel very comfortable with.

I will vote for the Democratic ticket, but I prefer Joe Biden to Hillary for Vice President.
