Things get testy on the campaign trail

Joe Biden and John Edwards speak out on the field. Yikes.

2008 update: Biden, Obama and Feingold out doing stuff

This afternoon I got an email stating that I should be "among the first to know" that Joe Biden is running for President. Which is good, because I've been referring to him as "2008 Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden" for more than a month now.

The announcement seems likely to get swamped by Senator Barack Obama's recently announced legislation to pull our troops out of Iraq.

Meanwhile Senator Russ Feingold, who is not running for President, is moving to cut off funding for the escalation.

Your 2008 update for January 24, 2007

The media has a big, dumb crush on the Hillary/Obama storyline. Edwards and Biden are reacting to Iraq escalation. And John Kerry's not running in 2008.

Which would be the richer primary? Those that are running - Richardson, Obama, Hillary, Biden and Edwards? Or those that aren't - Kerry, Feingold, Warner and Bayh?

Speaking of Joe Biden...

....(and I was), he's going after Condi Rice.

Rule of 14 catches up to Joe Biden?

I have nothing against 2008 Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden. (Except for the whole bankruptcy bill issue.) He's got a good head for foreign policy, which America sorely needs. I look forward to seeing him on the campaign trail.

The problem is that Biden hasn't just broken the Rule of 14. He's set it on fire and jumped up and down on its ashes. His experience may make him a good President, but it may also make him a lousy candidate.

Here are the most recent polls I know of in Iowa and New Hampshire.
