Recommendation of the week: Start Listening to Joe Biden

If you pay any attention to the mainstream media, you know that Hillary and Obama are battling it out for #1 while John Edwards is nipping at their heels; and that a few other nobodys are doing pretty much nothing worth mentioning with single digit ratings. 

But wait, do I hear a voice of reason?  Is someone talking who seems to actually make sense? I can barely hear him above the O’Hillary banter… in fact his name rarely makes the daily polls, further hampering his ability to get his name out to potential voters.

But his experience and knowledge, respect among both parties and many foreign leaders makes him a clear choice and I cannot figure out why nobody else is seeing this.  He is an internationally respected bi-partisan leader who has deep knowledge of foreign policy, already works with leaders around the globe from Benazir Bhutto and Musharraf to leaders in Iraq and Isreal.  He has a fairly gutsy plan for Iraq which he shares on his web site. And best of all, he is the only straight shooter in the age of political posturing and doubletalk nonsense.

I can’t say it nearly as well Daniel Buk on the TPM Café blog so please read it there.   Also Joe Biden’s web site features a wealth of information that will help you make up your mind including interviews with him, read his plans for America, endorsements and op-ed pieces.

I know it’s a longshot.  But I think if people have the chance to see and hear what he has to say and understand what he has done and can do for the country, we may just have a winner.
