Life's not easy for Joe Biden of Delaware, the veteran senator trailing two newbie colleagues in the race for the Democratic nomination for president.
The latest correspondence from Biden's camp asks people to help him raise $200,000 by the end of the month to keep his new television ads on the air in Iowa. That's roughly what Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) rack up before lunchtime on a good fundraising day.
But at least Biden's getting his props as a writer, breaking into the New York Times best-seller list over the weekend with his new book, "Promises to Keep." And for those in the contributing mood, his recent email includes a helpful Amazon link to "Order Your Book Today!"

If Joe Biden was a woman or an African American male,he'd be the front-runner in the all too politically correct democrat surrender party.

At least Biden is smart enough to WRITE a book; pResident Doogie Howser can only read "My Pet Goat".

Oh Doogie, get a life. Most military are Republicans. Just because one is not in the military nor even in the military does not make one a chickenhawk.
So, by yours and your buddies dingaling reasoning, was Bill CLintoon a chickenhawk too? He bombed, he went to war, he never served.

You state that most of the military is Republican. Traditionally, that is correct. Though after the Bush administration incompetence in the post war planning, my guess is that there are many who have converted to Independents.

Yay! My Pet Goat makes a return. I missed hearing about it so much. Just for the record, though, the name of the book is "The Pet Goat." Thanks, BC, for making me chuckle.

Biden as the veep candidate, huh? I suppose one must do what is necessary to get all of Delaware's electoral votes.

Are we sure Biden wrote this book or did he plagerize it?

Biden is going to make a great Sec Of State in 08 for our new Democratic President.

Little Johnny Dittohead,
Did you poll every single member of the military to come up with this analysis? or is this just another one of your Wingnut tantrums?
Posted by: John E | August 20, 2007 7:58 PM
Oh Deranged Johnnny E., it is fact that most military is Republican. It's been that way for decades. But tell us, Loon, why AREN'T in you in Iraq like you said??

I'm sure that John D. will post a link to the source for this "fact", any minute now, I'm sure it'll get here soon ...
We all know how John D. posts links to support his "facts" for all of his Swamp posts.

Ignorant-For-Life BC, I have already posted 2 links on other Swamp items backing up those claims. Not my fault you are incapable of reason and understanding.
