So Biden is "just like us" but beter prepared to be Vice President or President!

Guess that should have been the priority of the Republican Party's Vice Presidential pick!

Steve Michalski, Silver Spring, MD — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:07:47 GMT

Biden rocks. Plain and simple. I can see him as President. Palin as president would ensure my moving to Canada, for her running the country would ensure the destruction of all that Jefferson stood for.

[[Biden also happened upon a woman from the Brennan Center for Justice, who testified this morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Biden said he would have been there if he weren't "doing this," ]]

Maybe Joe can find a little time to call Lehman Brothers and AIG execs in front of his committee, you know, to ask them what happened. Trouble is, they'll point at Joe and say 'You passed laws that let us do this." and "We're some of your biggest contributors". It wouldn't be a good TV moment for Joe.

Michael McCarthy Nashua NH — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:24:45 GMT

I like and respect Joe Biden, but I disagree with him about Gitmo. In WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam we kept prisoners in prisoner of war camps until the war was over. We did not release them to resume fighting, and we didn't put them on trial in civilian courts. These are people who have committed acts of war against our military, they are not US citizens, and they were not captured in this country. Of the terrorist that have been released an unacceptably high number have returned to terrorism. The people that want to have the terrorists treated with the same respect as uniformed soldiers and afforded the protection of the Geneva Convention reverse themselves when they demand that the terrorist be treated as criminals and tried in civilian courts. You can't have it both ways.

He also said that Gitmo causes more terroisim than it prevents. That might be the case If terrorisim were only occouring in Afganistan, and Iraq and only against Americans. Instead terrorisim is taking place all over the world in places that we have no involvment, killing people off all backgrounds and nationalities.

Susan L., Redmond, WA — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:29:40 GMT

I absolutely LOVE that Biden is a train fan!!! And I look forward to putting more into trains in this country in an Obama/Biden administration. It's a great way to travel and we've got to come up with more alternatives to air and road travel. The state of our rail system across the country is variable at best. On some routes, it's not bad, on others, it's nearly criminal what horrible shape the tracks are in. I would love to see more investment in rail -- federal, state, and private -- to keep costs down, improve routes, and put more trains in service around the country.

Palin's Apprentice, LA, CA — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:32:10 GMT

Who cares, I'm voting Palin, She is the one that will fix this depression we are in. She is the only one with Executive Experience. She is true defintion of Reformer and Maverick and is down to earth. She has a true American Family. She is the one that will deliver us from the evils of this world. And last but not least She is a WOMAN, that can keep the Good Ole Boys in their place. Please people vote Palin/McCain for the sake of this country!!! We don't need another failure running the country. Barack has failed in the Senate and his campaign has failed to have him elected to the Presidency. ALL WOMEN PLEASE VOTE PALIN!!!

How do you not just love this guy?! This is down to earth and the guy next door that is smart, understands the American way of life and the one you should vote for. This is keeping in touch with the public everyday. We the people need his and Barack's knowledge, experience and passion to help get us back on track and make our problems and fears matter.

Why do you keep giving her a platform to spew her generalities when the McCain campaign will not allow you to actually ask her questions on how the McCain/Palin ticket will have different economic policies then the last 8 years of Bush?

Come on MSNBC, time to earn your money and help the American voters understand what each candidate will do if they are elected. Barack has clearly articulated his plan to move our economy forward and it is a drastic change from the policies of the last eight years (and will return us to the prosperity of the 1990's)

James Lee Chatsworth, GA — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:46:42 GMT

Biden seems like an O.K. kind of guy. I really don't know much about him. I personally have little respect for anyone, however, who makes a career out of politics. If they would suckle on the taxpayer's teat for less than 10 years and then move on, I would have a higher opinion of them.

I appreciate how Biden took the time to acknowledge and communicate with other passengers. These are the people he works for and it is gratifying to know that he at least will speak to those who have enabled him to keep his cushy job for so long.

My only criticism is that Biden apparently supports the comment that America has "'created rather than dissuaded more terrorists ... by our actions.'" That concept is totally offensive to me. I understand that there are those who blame the atrocities committed on 9/11 squarely upon the USA, but I believe those people who already hated America even before 9/11 happened.

If Biden really supports that statement, I will certainly not vote for him.

insanemedia, TN — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:02:39 GMT

Why doesn't the media publicize his activities as much as they do Palin's? Sadly, the media spent the past two weeks talking about Palin. Every morning while getting ready for work, I turn on "Morning Joe," hear a few seconds of them gush about what a strong woman "Sarah" is, pretend to vomit, switch off the TV curse the obsequiousness of the "Morning Joe" anchors as they say again "Obama needs needs to stop focusing on Palin." What! That is all THEY (media) is doing. When Obama talks about anything other than her they get bored.

Who cares???? Lots of people take the train everyday. Joe's not special. And, just because he doesn't SLEEP in Washington often doesn't mean he's not part of it. He's been there 36 years ENOUGH.

Joe Biden, now there's a real american who is just like me. Hard working, takes public transportation, etc. Unlike Sarah Palin, fake reformer who is just like every other politician, taking billions in earmarks and has a tanning bed in her own home!

Most politicians do their best to avoid constitutents except at election time. Commuter rail trains are a great way to talk to people about their concerns and what's going on in their lives. I think it's time for Joe Biden to get out there with his story; it's far superior to Sarah Palin's brief Cinderella story. He really is a public servant.

I can't believe people can't see this guy for what he really is. DECENT. Maybe we're so jaded we can't recognize a good guy when we see him. I would be proud to have Barack Obama as my President and Joe Biden as VP. Hope Not Fear! Eight years of fear and hoplessness is enough.
