For the first time I'm getting a glimmer of excitement about Biden.

He's a nice guy, but has never impressed me as a leader. Mind you, I'm VERY EXCITED about the way the party has come together to support him. That's a thrill. But about Biden personally, not so much. But today he came across as very presidential. And now that he has established himself, in the debates, as most assuredly NOT a condescending "smart person," this me be the beginning of an absolutely unbeatable combination. A leader who is not a threat.

Do you agree?

Still pissed I can't vote for Warren in the primary without writing her name in. That's what I plan on doing.

didn’t get further than she did. All because she doesn’t have a penis.

I don’t get excited about politicians (okay maybe Obama a little) but Biden is a kind, capable, man who will be a great president.

To me, he's like finding a brand new pair of sneakers that totally do the job. I don't care if I'm excited or not. I just care that he's going to do a good job.

I have actually been impressed with how he has behaved since after NH. Somebody grabbed him and told him to stop winging it. He's a great guy, but he tends to ramble when speaking extemporaneously. With a little discipline, he comes off as serious, well-spoken, and thoughtful.

And that came out in spades today. He looked great. He sounded great. And although I am probably biased, he looked and sounded WAY better than Sen. Sanders.
