Who else here thinks Joe Biden would be a good president?

I do. I think he has a good strong plan for what to do in Iraq and to protect our country. He is very experienced and he sounds confident and strong in what he wants. I think he would be a great president. Do you think he could be a good president and why are people doubting him?

1. I wouldn't mind if he became president. I didn't used to like him but the more I see him in the debates and with the turn of events in Iraq, I'm beginning to think he has a better handle on things than most of the candidates.
2. He is the textbook definition of a Washington insider. It's people like Biden that make Washington a complete disgrace to the country. If you want change, I wouldn't advise you to vote for Biden. If you're content with the same old bloated, inefficient, and incompetent government, then Biden is your man.
3. He would be a good choice and seems to have the best ideas with regard to Iraq.
4. Sorry, his obvious stance against the second amendment during the YouTube debate says he does not care for people to have constitutional rights and I am willing to bet he would pass laws to turn law abiding citizens into criminals. Hillary would be better than him.
5. Lindsey, there is a problem with Joe Biden "2 honest" for America and you know that people are being selected here not elected.:)
6. Biden has many good qualities. Unfortunately he has a temper and suffers from a chronic case of foot in mouth disease, both of which can hurt him during the campaign.
7. I was going to dignify this with an answer but it's just too stupid
8. Joe Biden doesn't even make a good senator He'd make an even lousier president
9. He'd make a wonderful president of a cattle ranching corporation. He has more personal experience spouting BS then most, after all.
10. Joe Biden is the most qualified person running of all the candidates regardless of party; and I believe he will be our next President. Anyone who takes the time to familiarize him- or herself with Senator Joe's voting record will immediately realize that Joe Biden is his own man: he rarely follows the party line; he is by nature a moderate; and he always embraces the best idea, no matter from which side of the aisle that idea comes. Many Americans feel that they would want to vote Democrat but fear that, if they do, the country will take a course toward socialist extremes. Hillary and Barack are clear examples of the sort of ultra-liberal Democrats that scare away more voters than they attract. Their respective campaigns are clearly symbolic---Hillary being a symbol of women overcoming oppression; Barack being a symbol of blacks overcoming oppression. Strip away the symbolic nature of their respective appeals, and you have two inexperienced people thrust upon the American people by a media obsessed with symbolic images. However, as reality sets in--and it always does--Americans along with the mass media will begin to focus on actual, individual achievement in public office as a measure of a candidate's worthiness to be President. Senator Biden has said--correctly, I think---that "the next President will have no margin for error--none!" People will be reminded that the reason Hillary won her Senate seat by such a wide margin was that she ended up running against a complete unknown, after Rudy Giuliani was driven from the contest by personal scandal. This will click with voters, who will then recognize Hillary for brazen opportunist that she is. People will be reminded that Barack's lack of experience is what has made him appear to be a maverick legislator. On closer examination, what we have is a young man whose political isolation, a product of inexperience running headlong into naked ambition, renders him ineffectual on many issues of national importance, and who sees the Senate as a platform for his own version of the civil rights movement. While many of his efforts are certainly commendable, his scope is far too limited to prepare him to face the challenges ahead. Once these observations penetrate the American psyche, Joe Biden will emerge as the one candidate whose experience and political temperment fit this country's needs at this precise moment in history. Biden is the only candidate with a plan--widely accepted both at home and abroad--to end the Iraq war without leaving the region is chaos for generations to come. Biden has always been a friend to small business people and working men and women. Biden is pro-union. Biden will not turn this country into a socialist utopia-hell (ala Hillary, Barack or John), for his ideology is grounded in the free enterprise system, believing that America's problems can be turned into opportunities by bringing together and forging into one both social responsibility and innovative commerce. Biden has been carelessly and unfairly criticized for having said that the Republicans will be responsible for reinstatement of the draft. That statement was neither untrue nor was it politically motivated. Anyone who is paying even nominal attention to war should know by now that, if this war does not come to end by April of 2008, the United States will be forced to reinstate the draft in order to maintain troop levels in Iraq. The White House fully acknowledges this reality even as it talks about extending the war for at least another 2 years! That means DRAFT, folks! There's no getting around it! And, yes, if that happens it will be Republicans who will be soley responsible for it. Biden was right all along. Americans currently serving in Iraq embrace Biden's plan for ending the war because our troops are both witness to and direct victims of the futility of "nation building" in the midst of an ever more violent civil war. Biden proposes a political solution: grant to the Sunni, Shia and Kurds their own automonous regions within a unified Iraq under a federal style of government. Oil revenues (which is what most of the fighting is really about) will be shared amongst the three groups. This is precisely they way the Bosnia conflict was handled and it was Joe Biden who convinced Bill Clinton to adopt this approach. Not one American life was lost in Bosnia. Now, that's the difference between a political solution one one forced upon people at the point of a gun.
11. They all sound confident and strong... That is why they are politicians... I hope that is not your only criteria for choosing a President.
12. You've convinced me; but, up to now, I've been a Kucinich-backer coz he looks like Kermit and he has a health-care plan. People are doubting Biden coz he doesn't have Hilary Clinton's cleavage or Barack Obama's blackness.
