Bad news second. I think Biden is a great Senator, but he's a pompous windbag that shouldn't be allowed outside the state of Delaware.
...he's from Delaware, right?

I was thinking the exact same thing about Biden this am.
What makes him so great?

1. He can talk coherently.
2. His foreign policy isn't dictated to him by troglodytes.
Wait, maybe he _would_ make a great President.

He understands foreign policy better than anyone in the Senate except perhaps Lugar.
He is my leading candidate right now. He doesn't have 'war chest' of cash that others have, but strictly as a politician he's the best.

Oh, and he's a racist:
But comments by Biden about Obama in an interview published in the New York Observer today were drawing criticism as they began to circulate on the Internet. In the Observer interview, Biden was quoted as saying, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," he said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."
