Biden has experience, he's a realist, he's tough enough that he may not have to prove his masculinity by being a uber-hawk (as some have feared Hillary might do).

Biden just put together the only bipartisan consensus in Congress regarding Iraq that actually increases the prospect of peace and withdrawal.

He has the demeanor to appeal to all sorts of people, and win in the purple states.

I don't think any Republican candidate would consider Biden anything other than a GOP nightmare (just as they would consider Edwards . . . or Clark . . . or someone like Jim Webb - - if only Webb wasn't a first term junior Senator . . . he could win all the purple states and even a few red ones).

How is Biden on Iran?

(My reason for not supporting Biden prior to now is that I have viewed him as too much of a hawk, but perhaps we're on the way to getting an even worse Democrat, or, God forbid, Giuliani.)

In Biden politically indebted to those demanding war?

I fear that both of our 2 frontrunners might actually lose the general election, and, even if they won, I wonder if they could withstand the demands of those screaming for war . Will that president have the cajones to stand up the fascists at Fox News, and GOP nuts on the hill? And will he/she have the presence to rally the country and defeat the fearmongers, so we can react to whatever crisis we face like true Americans (not trashing all our values in the process)?

If Biden could be the one to defeat Hillary (and, from there, the Republicans), and if I could be convinced he won't excalate/attack Iran, and continue the neocon quest for permanent bases throughout the world, I could hop on board.

Is Biden the one?
