Last night, I was too pumped to go to sleep and happened upon Charlie Rose on the local PBS station. Happily, I had stumbled upon a fabulous interview with none other than my favorite Senator (since Sarbanes retired) and, by far, my favorite Presidential Candidate, Joe Biden. At last check, the video is not yet available on www.charlierose.com, but I am sure it will appear soon. Biden was with Charlie for the full hour and he was wise and plain-talking--no bullshit. Not only did he articulate his plan for federalizing Iraq in depth, but he also outlined a very sensible plan of attack on the health care front. And he told the truth--publicly-funded campaigns would go a long way towards reforming our nation's health care system. Go Joe!
The sooner we can raise Biden's profile, the sooner he can really get his message out to the broader American electorate. We have to find a way to get his voice heard through the noise. Those of us who spend our time watching debates and shows like Charlie Rose are a small minority. Luckily, we are also very likely voters, but we need to hear Joe's voice on the morning shows. We need to see his name mentioned every thirty minutes on the CNN news loop. We need to get him noticed. Of course, Joe is running low in the polls, but this time last election, Dean was getting all the hype. And I remember when Bill Clinton was unknown outside of Arkansas? Don't be blinded by the hype of the celebrity candidates. Biden is smart, prepared, insightful, wise and he doesn't bullshit.
