1. Thank you - I hadn't seen this. Although initially I was disappointed that

Biden wasn't pursuing a single payer system, I agree now that we have to do something immediately to get every person covered. THEN we can work toward "reinventing the wheel" as he put it.

This plan can be incorporated seamlessly into our current system - no need to create a new bureaucracy (again, paraphrasing Biden), and with the most important issue having been addressed -- insurance for all -- we can move toward a system that isn't buffeted around at the whim of the insurance industry.

Sometimes I'm not initially in agreement with a particular approach Biden has regarding an issue, but as I think it through, it invariably becomes evident his plans are pragmatic and attainable now - they just make sense.

3. Rapid, drastic change

usually causes more problems than it fixes. Healthcare is a complex issue and will take well thought out incremental steps to fix.

4. Every time I hear Biden's various plans for Iraq, healthcare, education,

I like him more & more!!!

8. My initial favorable opinion of him just grows more and more

Listening to him on a regular basis, I've become more impressed than I thought was possible. I've never felt this positive about any candidate before and that is saying a lot.

6. I really like Joe.

So, like everything else I like, he'll likely be canceled.

7. He'd have to be featured in prime time on FOX and ABC!

They've given the ax to more great shows than I can count anymore. Firefly, Strange Luck, The Job, Politically Incorrect, Millennium...........I've afraid to get hooked on any of their shows anymore for fear I am a jinx.

9. He's very impressive. I fear though that the candidates have

already been chosen.

10. That's what the media expects us to believe

They've been wrong many times in the past. They always underestimate Iowa.

11. We're not giving up. We believe so strongly that he's the best guy, we're not

going to stop unless he does. We're almost rabid! :7

12. We are still waiting for a senate companion to HR 676

Why doesn't Joe start there while he can? He could really get things kicked off.
