Every male candidate may find someone coming out of the woodwork to accuse him of something inappropriate. We need to learn how to deal with this because it is a political maneuver that has been proven successful for the repubs. I'll be damned if I will jettison Biden, someone who has a long record of public service and who we all know is a folksy kind of guy. Can't the Dems give him a chance to learn that what is acceptable has changed? What was in his heart and what were his intentions - I doubt he was trying to force himself on anyone.
He views Dems as one of the family, and some are turning on him for that.

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