Biden starts PAC for possible '08 run. "Unite Our States" with site + blog
'Unite Our States' will allow senator to begin raising campaign money

By JENNIFER BROOKS / News Journal Washington Bureau
06/29/2005
WASHINGTON -- Delaware Sen. Joe Biden has moved from just talking about running for president to building the political machine he will need to actually do it.

On Tuesday, Biden launched "Unite Our States," a political action committee that will allow him to start raising campaign seed money -- both for himself, if he decides to run for president in 2008, and for other Democrats in the 2006 House and Senate races.

At the same time, he unveiled the Unite Our States Web site, where anyone curious about Biden can read his speeches, sign up for his mailing list or even donate online. The site -- www.uniteourstates.com -- also boasts a blog. Web logs and political Web sites helped energize grassroots voters during the 2004 election and were credited with giving former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean a head start in the primaries.

Biden has hired Democratic fund-raiser Helen Milby as his financial director and rented office space on Capitol Hill for his PAC.

2. Last night Biden said "We can't cut and run from Iraq."
As far as I am concerned, he is a tool of the military-industrial complex. No, we can't "cut and run" but we sure as hell better find SOME way to get out of Iraq. If the only choices Biden can think of are leaving and staying indefinitely then he has less problem-solving ability than a rock.

4. Biden is also a tool of the banks and credit card companies, i.e., MBNA...
which is headquartered in Delaware.

15. Teeth-whitening industry, too.
How about Joe Biden/George Hamilton 2008? :evilgrin:

They would blind the opposition with their sparkle!

He's just an all 'round, general purpose tool, period.

6. Lieberman II,
The Pac's blog will be as highly visited as the orginal Lieberman's. Biden is unacceptable to me as a presdential candidate.
