Biden: Should he stay or go?

Eight democrats are currently vying for the democratic nomination for president. Let’s take a look at the candidates and determine whether they should continue their earnest campaigns or bow out gracefully.

Next up, Joe Biden of Delaware.

Another northeasterner, but this one is a liberal hawk. I like Joe Biden. He’s smart, and he’d make one hell of a defense minister under Hillary Clinton. But he talks too much (which is why I like him). He doesn’t bullshit you. We need that in a president, but the American people apparently aren’t ready. (Instead, we’ve got a pure bullshitter sitting in the Oval Office.) Biden was a favorite of mine in 2004, and he was the first to fall in the reyonthehill primary this year.

And let’s be realistic. Although his seat won’t be hotly contested by the opposition party in 2008, he is up for reelection. I would rather see Biden in the Senate than anyone else. Or, at least as President Clinton’s Secretary of State. That being said, I suggest Joe pack his bags and head home, which is painful to write, since he’s clearly the most qualified candidate running.
