It kinda pisses me off.
I turn on CNN, there's clips of Biden in Georgia (swoon)
A clip of him on the Today show.
The pundits don't stop talking about him.
The blogs are all about Biden.


Hello?????? Where were you all hiding last year????

3. Exactly --

And I still think it may get to the point where, as that pundit said (who was that again, P?) "they're going to ask themselves -- why didn't we just pick Joe Biden?"

If Obama's campaign experiences difficulty, I think that question would be on a lot of peoples' minds.

EDIT: I was mad at Obama for running NOW - at this crucial point in our history. I felt he should have waited a few more years. I'm less adamant about that now, but still wonder what it would have been like if he DIDN'T run. I kind of think it would be Biden, Clinton, Edwards -- what do you guys think? And out of those three, it would have come down to Biden and Clinton. And of course, I think Biden would have taken it. :)

What a different scenario we'd have today.

6. I think it would have been very close between Biden
and Clinton. With Edwards, I'm afraid there were too many people who just didn't trust him. It is possible that there could have been a Biden/Clinton or Clinton/Biden ticket.

Oh well, I guess we shouldn't spend too much energy rewriting history, but its nice to dream now and then.

4. I'm with you Pirhana!
The media turned the primary into a first black man/first woman circus & the voters got distracted. :eyes:

7. And Biden wasn't new and exciting enough
He's been around for so long, that people just took him for granted.

5. Unbelievable, isn't it?
Well, at least they're talking about him and he's finally getting much deserved recognition.
