Reposted due to Request: Speaking of Biden...

Was anyone actually talking about Joe Biden? No, not really. But I
read Elizabeth Edwards's piece in the Times
(http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/opinion/27
edwards.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin),
and I started to get curious as to what Biden was doing right now. I
guess you could call me a Biden fangirl... I like to call myself a
supporter, but if you called me a fangirl, I wouldn't get pissed. So I
did a tiny bit of digging on Youtube, and look what I found!

It's
a little old, but if you blow off a little of the dust, it plays just
fine. It's Biden making sense as usual, and only Olbermann covering it
(as usual). It's nice to see that someone's starting to hit McCain
where he needs to be hit, and the honorable Delaware senator is just
the person to do that. I've been listening to his policy proposals ever
since last year, and I love almost every word he has to say (Am I a
hawk? A little bit, so just know that in advance before going off).
This is a guy who made sense when no one else was, and eventually, the
frontrunners started piggybacking on his ideas - most of them
eventually agreed that soft partition in Iraq may be inevitable, for
example.

Oh, one more thing. He gives a reason for not having
announced yet, although it depresses me. Biden, the next POTUS (Obama)
needs you! You must do your duty for your country become his Secretary
of State!

Alright, personal opinion, I think he likes
Hillary's ideas a little bit better, and that's why he hasn't endorsed,
maybe along with the reason he gives. -.- Depressing, but maybe there's
a way to change his mind on both counts.

...Yeah, in case you haven't guessed, I'm really bored. Night, everyone!

(Just on an added side-note... could someone please give me the code for links? I'd use the option at the top, but for websites, it becomes a little tricky since I can't copy and paste. Thanks!)

Also, some people on my last posting were commenting about the idea of a "Fantasy Cabinet League" with interest. Personal opinion: It'd be fun, but not with actual money.
Tis my two cents.

That was my idea, and I don't believe money should be exchanged either.

I'm not able to play YouTube videos where I am this week (work computer), so could you fill me in on the reason Biden gave for not having endorsed? I have great respect for the man and -- damnit!!! -- wish he had been given some legitimate, and deserved, attention in the media. He should have, and would have had, a serious chance if there was truly a level playing field in the beginning.

Sure! He said that he doesn't want anyone saying that he's just endorsing someone to angle for a position on said person's Cabinet. -.- He claims not to have any interest. Oh, it's rare I hope a politician lies, but this is one time.
