Bidenites and Biden-leaners--ths will make you feel better :)
Washington Post: “Biden Could Capture Third Place” In Iowa

Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. is a 35-year legislative veteran, a widely respected foreign-policy expert, a likable man with one of the most gripping biographies in American politics. Not a bad formula for a presidential campaign.



Charismatic and blunt, the 65-year-old is a gifted retail politician. Voters tend to show up at Biden events in a curious mood and leave in full swoon. With about half of Iowa Democrats still shopping candidates, Biden could capture third place.

in recent years, has emerged as one of the Democratic Party's strongest foreign policy voices. Biden voted to authorize the Iraq war in 2002 but has become a harsh critic of President Bush. A nonbinding resolution endorsing Biden's plan to divide Iraq into three semiautonomous regions won more bipartisan support than any Iraq policy change to come before the Senate this year. Biden has made his expertise in world affairs the centerpiece of his presidential bid, arguing that an unstable world requires an experienced, steady hand.

6. I think so too.
I am very glad you posted this. I think it is a possibility for Biden to end up third. A few weeks ago I was hoping for a strong fourth. He just started TV ads in Iowa on Wednesday...and is running meetings in nearly every county seat over the next few days. He is like superman. I am amazed at the intensity coming from this campaign. I think is timing is going to be very effective.
