Biden Announces '08 Presidential Bid

Democratic Sen. Joe Biden promoted his presidential bid on Sunday, saying he thinks he can hold his own against potential high-profile rivals such as fellow Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

"I'll be Joe Biden and I'll try to be the best Biden I can be," the 64-year-old Delaware lawmaker said. "If I can, I have a shot. If I can't, I lose."

Biden said he will set up an exploratory committee by the end of the month that will help him raise money and gauge support for his candidacy.

Biden, who long has made clear his intentions to seek the White House in the wide-open race, has about $3.5 million in his campaign account. He has campaigned extensively in early voting states such as New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada.

"I am running for president," he said on "Meet the Press" on NBC. "I will file for an exploratory committee before the month is out."

Considered one of his party's most experienced spokesmen on international affairs, Biden is the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

He plans a series of hearings on the Iraq war and has promoted a detailed plan for peace in Iraq that would divide the country along ethnic lines.

Biden's first presidential bid collapsed 20 years ago amid allegations he plagiarized a campaign speech from then-British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

1,200 Peace Activists Make Giant "Impeach" Sign on Beach
And in San Francisco, about 1,200 peace activists gathered on the beach Saturday to spell out the word Impeach in giant letters visible from the sky. The protest occurred in the district of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Advocates of impeaching President Bush have criticized Pelosi for saying that impeachment is off the table.

Biden is a solid candidate, which means he probably won't make it. He's smart, has the country's best interests in mind and would make a wonderful, intellectual, though non-flashy, president. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, but he might be too intelligent to gain any party's majority support. With the obvious exception of Clinton, we tend not to elect geniuses for president.

Joe Biden is a spineless Democrat, and as sleazy as any Republican. He is in bed with corporate America. He comes off like a used car salesman.

Biden's latest: Congress can do nothing Constitutionally to bring the troops home - that they are stuck in Iraq as long as the President wants to keep them there.

This is ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! The congress can specifically appropriate funds in such a way that they are used only to bring the troops home. Congress has the power to Declare War, and that means to STOP IT also (Duh!)

Biden has COMPLETELY and TOTALLY caved-in to Bush. Disgusting and Sickening. If Dems nominate Biden we might as well have one big "Republicrat" Party.

I'll vote GREEN PARTY gp.org

libelman18,

Knock off that anti-Semitic body language.

(Arabs are Semites, libel man)

Ozilot, for once you've made some sense. Maybe there's hope - or maybe you realized sharia doesn't look so good.

As for an ol' ho like gladys - well, she's applying the greasepaint as we speak. Of course greasepaint and a hajibi don't go well together, but please don't tell the ol' hag and clown that.

Tee Hee. Step Right Up and buy your tickets for the dog, pony, plastic, plagarizer, amos and andy show.

[lieberman18]

Hail to the chief plagarizer...and blank check for defeatism.

This guy didn't have a brain before his brain surgery, and he doesn't have one now. Another "cut and run" defeatist Liberal - or a neo-fascist's darling.

Just like Princess Plastic.

I wonder how Biden will look with a beard and head scarf. Because, just like Princess Plastic Surgery, the future hajibi babe Nan, he has the goods to give those of us who survive future Iranian nuclear attacks and Al Qaeda terror a Sharia-based puppet state here.

Have fun, circus clowns.

If Biden is to have a chance, he needs to lose that quick grin that he uses to underline serious points.

That gets old fast.
