postings and thoughts that go along w/ them. I use all of these to tabulate my thoughts and feelings on issues/candidates and this particular poster is way too aggressive and too dismissive of others, as you could tell. And I do like Joe Biden, always have, and if he's the candidate that we put up, then I'll be right behind him too, along with his VP candidate too. But...in the meantime, I am going to support the candidate I like so far (and it's hard to chose too from among all of the choices) and the one that's rang my 'bell' (kind of like Barak Obama did with that speech of his), is Mayor Pete. There hasn't been a candidate thus far that's rang my 'bell' like that.

Smart, well spoken, etc., the list goes on. Do we have another 'Barak Obama?'...probably not, but I sure would like to see what else this guy has.

Take care.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
