I submitted this with a better headline but got the "bad kitty" message: After poor showing in Iowa, Biden to drop out of presidential race. Which is a shame, since he's the first mainstream Caucasian who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy

He was delusional to run in the first place! Gas bag in the Senate, gas bag on the campaign trail. He is helpless when he can't quote Neil Kinnock!

Definitely a better headline. Too bad for the Senator from MBNA. Credit card lenders will just have to build another candidate from his parts.

Not to worry, they still have their alternative corporate Republcrat whore, Hillary.

Pity - they were both more experienced and electable than Hillary or Obama. And mostly good performers in the media too (excepting Biden's meatheaded "clean and articulate" comment). I have especially found myself nodding along with Biden on Meet The Press on more than one occasion.

Sadly, neither of them ever had a chance. Experience, sensible policy, political ability, and electability has no place in the echo chamber of hubris that is the current Democratic party. They are much more interested in fellating each other as they shoot themselves in the foot.

With apologies for the appalling mixed metaphor.

this.

A part of me thinks that the increased amount of time per candidate in the upcoming debates will result in in-depth discussion of complicated issues.

But it's just my butt.

haha love the tag

WTF....the people with the most/real experience and nobody votes for them.
I guess they didn't sing enough of the pointless platitudes of "change".

Biden was the only one (well I guess Brownback as well since he co-sponsored) with a workable political solution to the Iraq mess. Shame he never got any traction.

Dear Barack,

Please make Mr. Biden your Secretary of State.

kthxbi,

Recall all Repuglikkkans: Cyberluddite: Not to worry, they still have their alternative corporate Republcrat whore, Hillary.

BWAAAAAA. I love the Repuglikkkan disinformation campaign that Hillary is somehow conservative. Consider the number of bills she couldn't even get out of committee with her party in charge because they were too liberal for the party to accept. Nothing can be a more powerful statement than that. THAT is where she is politically. Forgot the crap she's spewing now. Right now, she's been playing to the center the last few years simply to get into power. Once she is there, I don't think she'll give a rat's ass about what people think and vote her way, hard left.

It may have effective tonight but wait until Hillary really gets her campaign going. She's been in politics long enough to know how the game is played. I'm glad that Obama has gotten a small win tonight; now she can play the upstart to him being the forerunner.

The two most qualified candidates on the left bite the dust. Richardson at least got a whopping 2% last night.

I'm about as much of a Republican as Noam Chomsky. There's a "Republican disinformation campaign" all right--and you're demonstrating it right here with your faux personna--that Hillary is somehow a "liberal" (or in the words of the out of the closet righties, a "commie" or "socialist"). The record speaks for itself. She's to the right of any other Dem running, and actually is to the right of many people who have actually been elected president in the past as Republicans.

You can give up on your little schtick any time now--everyone is on to you, Freeper.

I think I broke the ABC Match-o-matic. Two of my "guys" are out the race, although they don't represent a lot of my views.

Every time I do one of those, it always spits out Kucinich and Gravel. Always always always.

Gosling: Every time I do one of those, it always spits out Kucinich and Gravel. Always always always.

I was always getting Biden when I was taking the questions seriously, but just messing around I thought it was wierd I get a winner with only two ticks (lowest possible?) and it turns out to be Biden.

And-1: Pity - they were both more experienced and electable than Hillary or Obama.

Keeping in mind the numbers they drew yesterday, and have been polling at nationwide, I am reminded of these immortal words:

No one goes there anymore, it's too crowded. -Yogi Berra

Lots of people have more experience. If the job were just about experience, it would be a seniority contest. But the idea that they are more electable, when they drew so poorly within their own party, is really kind of ridiculous.

/"electable" is the reason we ended up with Kerry last time

Every single person running and the inanimate carbon rod are better than the current president.

/vote Rod '08

Jesus, there's a lot of whining in here.

satanscock: WTF....the people with the most/real experience and nobody votes for them.
I guess they didn't sing enough of the pointless platitudes of "change".

Maybe it's because having a lot of DC experience is a bad thing. The longer they're there, the darker their soul becomes.

I am so hoping that Biden ends up as Obama's running mate. That would simply be an awesome ticket and would completely kill any opportunity the GOP has to play the experience card.

Obama/Biden '08

/it's not a campaign, it's a movement

Didn't he have any Joe-mentum???

Biden was more Presidential than everyone else in the race combined. I certainly didn't agree with him on a lot of issues, but I think someone with that kind of integrity is really what the Office needed to regain some semblance of respect. Oh well.

Not gonna happen. The pandering will never end. She has no values. She isn't hard left, you're just dreaming, like the wide spectrum of voters who think she represents them. The Republicans HATE Hillary. They're not running a smear campaign saying she's one of them, they're just running a smear campaign.

/not a republican
//work with a lot of them

Dodd is an idiot. A Teddy-Lite idiot. I will LMAO if McCain goes anywhere - Dodd refused to endorse Lieberman's campaign as an independent in '06, despite both men being long-time friends and supporters. Lieberman won his re-election, and when Dodd asked for his endorsement, Lieberman went to McCain.

Democrats continue to befuddle themselves into a sea of uselessness - let's see what Hillary does to tear down Obama now....

Match-o-matic gives me Gravel, Paul, Kucinich. Strangely my Democrat is/was Biden.

RussianPooper: Lots of people have more experience. If the job were just about experience, it would be a seniority contest. But the idea that they are more electable, when they drew so poorly within their own party, is really kind of ridiculous.

Well not really, if you consider that the party room is not the electorate at large. Although you may be right, it is not for that reason.

"electable" is the reason we ended up with Kerry last time

No, the Democrats have not considered the broader electorate for many many years - probably since Clinton.

So now the democrats are down to token candidates. When democrats voters in the rest of the country have a chance to pick the candidate they have these three "choices": a woman, a white southern male, and a african american male. All cut the same way from the DNC mold.
