| Biden to Take On Hilly |
| 2005-06-20 |
| WASHINGTON - Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., said Sunday he intends to run for president in 2008. But Biden, who also sought the nomination in 1988, said he would give himself until the end of this year to determine if he really can raise enough money and attract enough support. Going after the nomination "is a real possibility," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "My intention, as I sit here now, is, as I've proceeded since last November as if I were going to run. I'm quite frankly going out, seeing whether I can gather the kind of support," Biden said. Biden said he was taking his "game on the road, letting people know what I think." He added, "If, in fact, I think that I have a clear shot at winning the nomination by this November or December, then I'm going to seek the nomination." Biden dropped out of the 1988 presidential race after a series of disclosures that he had liberally borrowed from other politicians in his stump speeches and after questions about his law school records. |

| #7 He's calling for a withdrawal schedule form Iraq. The last time the Dems did this, over 2 millioned died and the abandoned were left with an authoritarian/communist government in Southeast Asia. Yes, please step up to the target circle, the opposition party appears to have finally found a voice after your brother Durbin revealed how your party really supports the troops. Just another Dem program, its all about appearences not about solving the problem, in this case terrorism. This isn't 1976. After the 'gulag, nazi', and other contructive comments, I look forward to the Rep finally getting some guts and start showing the bodies dropping from the Twin Towers. If the choice is casualties in Iraq or casualties here at home, I don't think the Dems have a clue what the American public prefers [even after the 2002 and 2004 elections]. |

| #6 His role is to show that Hillary won the nomination against competition. It gives the media an excuse for lots of coverage of her. |

| #3 The last Senator to win the White House was Jack Kennedy. "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." |
