video...

Donation: $25.00

Hearing all the other candidates say, "Joe is Right": Priceless...

3. That video should be on every tv station in Iowa, NH and SC.
It is the best that has come out of this campaign.

4. He has yet to run ads in the paper in Iowa.
That's how broke his campaign is :(

Mr "corporation" sure does not have the corporate backing.

5. I like the ad the campaign is running.
http://www.joebiden.com/assets/pdfs/joeisright.pdf

It is informative and complements Biden without trashing the others, and that is the type of ad I prefer. I made my first contribution today, after spending some time comparing the candidates.

8. Thanks to everybody! And remember -- IF I understand this correctly -- with
Joe taking matching funds now, our contributions double!

14. Well hopefully he'll raise the 12 grand, then -- he hasn't been able to buy
any print space or air time yet, I don't think.

Again - thanks to everybody for your generosity and support! He has so much to offer, he needs a fair chance to present himself.

:hi:

11. I donated again. Hope he gets what he needs to run this ad.
Every step like this, e.g., this print ad they're running, is critical to his campaign, since his money is limited. It's really frustrating that people try to paint Biden as a corporate lap dog when he's one of the few who aren't, and it shows in his struggle to finance his campaign. Hillary and Obama seem to have endless access to cold cash. Makes me wonder.

15. Great video! Just awesome!
From the candidates seeking the Dem nomination, Biden would be the toughest for the GOP to beat - whoever their candidate is.

That's why I am dreaming of a BIDEN-OBAMA ticket in 2008.

17. I think if Biden wins the nomination, there's a good chance Obama will be his vp.
I'm not saying that just because I like Obama. It's because there are a lot of good reasons for doing so. In a nutshell, Obama would get the experience he now lacks; it would help guarantee Biden's reelection in 2012; Obama is extremely smart and has good, innovative ideas; and would guarantee winning Illinois. They'd make a good team, and they'd win!

19. I agree -- in addition to such a ticket being politically smart, both of these men
would contribute greatly to our country. We'd have a really good TEAM in place. Joe Wilson as SOS and we're ready to rumble.

16. It's just so sad AND infuriating that Biden has to come to the people with hat
in hand for a measly $12,000 when other candidates are rolling in MILLIONS.

(This isn't a slam on those candidates, but a slam on an unjust system.)

Just goes to show that his support comes from regular folks that want the best for their country.

23. Donate money to a Drug Warrior? No thanks.
The fact that Hillary is shown mentioning him twice on his own website should give any DUer pause.

34. I've been keeping the "bunnies" in my reserve arsenal!
Figured if the "kittens" didn't have an impact, I'd bring out the heavy duty artillery!

Watch out, naysayers! I have MORE and I'm not afraid to use 'em! :grr:

39. Does he get to Homestead the Kittens and Bunnies?
I think he should declare Bankruptcy.

Perhaps he should pick up another job to pay down his debts.

26. If I had an extra $100
I would donate it to a cold weather shelter for the homeless, would be way better spent.

32. pirhana, I will allow you good Biden people the power to prompt
me to send a donation to the Biden campaign.

I am giving to Edwards but will respond to this prompt for Joe Biden.

I like all our people but really love these two.

I've been uniformly impressed with the brains and poise of the Biden Group on DU, and say hurrah to that, and off a donation to Joe goes into cyberspace.

33. Thank you so much...
A bunch of us Biden supporters exchanged some posts promising to treat others on this board with respect, regardless of who they support. For the most part, the "agreement" has been holding. It is nice to see someone noticing our effort.

38. My theory is that your exchange as described demonstrates an evolved
position and strategy in adult problem-solving.

Bravo for you folks.
