I wanted to pass along some promising news that Senator Biden has received recently. Even in a race of celebrity candidates, Ken Dolls, and quasi-ceos, Joe Biden is moving up. This nomination will be won by the candidate that looks voters in the eye, shares his/her story, and is straight with the American about what we have to do to restore our place in the world, as opposed to the asterisk candidates who seem to think delivering prepared speeches in front of partisan crowds is what it takes–completely oblivious to the fact that the Dems need 60 votes to override a presidential veto. Hell, Barack–no last name necessary– doesn’t even bother to show up for important Senate floor votes. I’m referring of course to the Lieberman-Kyl Iran Amendment, which accuses Iran of fighting “a proxy war against the Iraqi state and coalition forces in Iraq” and designates the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Barack Obama must be taking notes from Fred Thomspon, a perrenial no show.
According to a high-ranking Hill staffer, “he wasn’t there at all,” neither during debate over the measure nor when the Democratic caucus purged two provisions that, among other things, would have declared prudent the “use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq… with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Dave Nagle, a former Iowa congressman and state party chairman, says Biden is emerging as an alternative to the perceived front-runners. “He is gaining traction,” said the uncommitted Nagle in a Boston Globe column.
Last Friday, Joe Biden was joined by Sam Brownback in Des Moines to discuss his plan for Iraq, which gained an overwhelming majority of support in the United States Senate when Senator Biden’s amendment promoting federalism in Iraq passed 75-23 - including 26 Republicans. MSNBC’s Carrie Dan was able to describe the scene:
“Three local camera crews, plus a three-man team and a live satellite truck sent by CNN, made the room look like Britney’s booking compared to a typical event for a candidate whose name isn’t Barack, Hillary, or Rudy.”
Even though he manages a demanding Senate schedule as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Biden is hitting the campaign trail as often as possible as we get closer and closer to the Iowa Caucus.
