The Biden Factor By Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, July 2, 2006

Blunt, charismatic, smart and blessed with a can't-help-yourself appeal that crosses most geo-social-economic-political lines.

Meet Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., long-time member of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary and 13 key subcommittees, from border security to crimes and drugs.

And Democrat presidential candidate in 2008.

"Am I running? Yes," he told me during an interview ranging from the all-important upcoming midterms to his bid for the nation's highest office.

Biden is a non-factor.

Biden is a ego with a suit.

A more formidible opponent than most on the Left. He's open to the "plagerism charge", but that isn't really much of an issue

He may not be far enough to the left to attract the DUmmie and KOSsack voting bloc. Give him time and a microphone though I suspect.

Was this in some new comic strip?

I'd factor Biden out immediately. The only Democrat Senator with a chance is Hillary!.

I think most "pingers" save a list of names on their about page then copy and paste it into the "To:" window on the reply page.

That's the extent of my knowledge...:) sometimes it's seems more trouble than it's worth unless the ping list is over 20 people. Good article.

"chock-full of..... mojo...."

Biden's chock-full of something, but it's definitely not mojo.

Biden was quoted in The Hill the other day saying "I'd rather be home making love to my wife with my kids asleep in the other room that run for President." He's a vomit-inducing, club foot-in-mouth idiot. Even the Dem base knows this. His campaign will only further embarrass my home state.
