A long time political consultant argues that the senior senator from Delaware is the Democrat’s best shot -----
There are several ways we choose our presidents. During the primaries, we may vote for the person who looks as if he or she will perform best as a candidate—someone who “looks” presidential, who seems savvy with the media and who will represent our best interests. At the last moment, we might pick the candidate who seems to have the best head of steam—the person who could actually win. Others vote for the candidate they believe would make the best president, based on intellect, personal skills and public-service experience. Still others vote on single issues—abortion, taxes, defense, foreign policy, education, moral values, health or the environment. A final group casts its ballot for geographical reasons, the “home state” or regional candidate.
As the Democrats cast about for a candidate who can win in 2008, I want to make the case for Joe Biden. After 34 years in the Senate, Biden can appeal to voters on nearly all of the above criteria. He’s familiar to many voters—from his (admittedly verbose) questioning during the Alito hears to his passionate arguments in favor of U.S. intervention in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s.In fact, Biden has held public office far longer than any of the new crop of possible presidential candidates (he was elected at the age of 29) and is an influential member and former chairman of both the Judiciary and Foreign Relations Committees.
The senior senator from Delaware has an appealing media persona:

Now his family is fully grown and it’s Biden’s turn again. My prediction: The senator would make a formidable candidate for the democrats and a great president for the nation.

BTTT
humorous column here.
He can plagarize loser Kerry's speech conceding the election. Ha!
I'm not just the Senator from Delaware, I'm also a client.
LOL ping.
As a younger lad, I'd have been very interested in what Mr. Goldstein is smoking.
Wait until Hugh Hewitt gets a hold of this for Wednesday's radio program. He rides on Biden like a rented mule. Tune in PCT 3 PM KRLA 870,(http://www2.krla870.com/listen/).
I'm sorry........without even reading the article (I will after this post) I have to say there is NO case for Joe Biden and NEVER will there be.
Hillary's goons will savage him with the help of the NYT.
Joe Biden The dumbest man in the Senate
Out of all of them, Joe Lieberman is the only guy who could probably win and there's no way they'd nominate him.
Kennedy should be a lot farther back than that.
