DES MOINES, Iowa - Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was back in Iowa on Thursday, ending a 19-year absence from the state that will launch the presidential nominating season.

The Democrat said he has decided to test the presidential waters because of partisan gridlock in the Senate. Even if Democrats regain control of the chamber, he said it's unlikely they could advance much of an agenda.

"The only place you can do that is from the White House," said Biden, who plans to spend 15 days this month in Iowa.

"I don't think we're going to get back in the near term to the days when there are 55 Democrats and maybe a dozen moderate Republicans you can actually deal with."

Interesting, Old Joe doesn't sound as upbeat about the Dem's chances of taking back the Senate as does "Nut-boy" Reid.

Don't waste your time slow Joe.

It took the "Smartest man in the Senate" 19 years to find Iowa on a map.

And Thank God for that!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Bet those Hawkeyes sure missed old "doll hair".

[Brilliant]

Biden is running for President. That shows how desperate the Dems are.

[ncountylee]

I'm pulling for slow Joe. He's has to be the weakest fool in the dem race.

[MikeA]

Oh I'm sured the people of Iowa are just enraptured to have Joe gracing them with his presence again. Oh to live in Iowa and be able to bask in the glow of Sen. Hair Plug's.

Just when the state hoped to be declared Biden-free, he returns. Must be a drug-resistant strain, too.

[Chi-townChief]

Biden knows a good speech when he steals one.

Typical caustic remark by Biden. Here his party is going over a cliff because of their hair on fire anti-American liberalism/socialism and he's bitching about Republicans not being modrate enough, LOL!!!

Good ol' plugs has always been good for a laugh.

Invoking the "Joe Rule".
Any mention to Joe Biden must be followed the following phrase...

Admitted thief and liar

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The state fair is on this week. Biden still thinks Des Moines is one of the Twin Cities.

[Eragon]

We don't have to keep him do we? We have enough issues with Harkin....

[Niteranger68]

I can't wait for the entire country to see his $#!t sandwich personality.

[GSlob]

Well, post 12 on this thread states he's a thief. Thiefs and pickpockets have been gravitating to fairs since time immemorial. BTW, does his presence in big crowds form a repeating pattern?

[GSlob]

"We don't have to keep him do we? "
I'd keep him and make him useful. In an agricultural state he might pull a plow, or a cart.

In an agricultural state he might pull a plow, or a cart.

Could use him for fertilizer...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Took me a while to get that one.
Years ago, Biden visited Iowa, hoping to meet the twin governors Bob and Ray.

Oh I'm sured the people of Iowa are just enraptured to have Joe gracing them with his presence again. Oh to live in Iowa and be able to bask in the glow of Sen. Hair Plug's.

But it does mean he's leaving the poor folks of Delaware alone for a while........Why he keeps getting elected is beyond me. In 21 years of living there I never voted for the SOB, nor did anyone in my family.
