99. Because a person has an issue that they see as most important doesn't

make them a one issue activist.

Using your argument, those of DU that criticize Biden for the Iraq War Resolution vote are one issue activists, since Biden has far more texture to his political career than that one vote.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
