Just dropping in to say hello...
I have not yet decided who I will be supporting in the primaries, but I wanted to stop in and tell you that the more I hear and learn about Biden, the more I like.
I've been sifting through your threads here, to learn about as much as I can about Sen Biden. I'm looking forward to catching him here in my state (Iowa).

Thanks!

2. Hi -- and thank you for the kind and supportive words! I empathize with
those who haven't settled on a candidate yet. I was all over the place. When each one would respond to a debate question I'd think ''well I like THAT answer, too!". Very confusing. I think I actually paid the least attention to Biden.

But it's a process, and I felt myself resonating with him more and more, finally arriving at the point where I knew without a doubt that I wanted this man to be President.

So good luck on your journey! I envy you having the opportunity to see him -- have fun!

3. Hey youthere!
I lurk on several of the supporter forums (a lot easier on the eyes than reading all the BS in GD/GD-P) and I gotta tell you...Ted Sporer was right x( (did I just say that?!) He has said that the Biden staff are the nicest in the state and I think the Biden supporters are up there as well. These folks are organized and positive and crazy about Biden! Truly feels like a bottom up campaign going on here.

Okay, got to go get Debi, Jr. from UNI - glad to see you here (and no, I have not joined yet, but here feels mighty comfortable)

D. :hi:

6. Hey, if you're not doing anything next Friday night

The Black Hawk County Dems are holding a forum here in Waterloo and Dodd and Biden are the only confirmed attendees. Should be good to actually get to hear them talk about the issues rather than answer in sound-bite fashion :thumbsup:

10. Hi there, "Youthere"
Thank you for the kind words. I'm beginning to have a lot of respect for Iowans. They really take politics seriously, unlike a lot of people who just get all crazy and emotional. I hope you get to see Biden in person. I think that is a pivotal moment for a lot of undecideds.

12. He's having a meet and greet in Tipton, IA on Monday...
I'm trying to shift some things around at work so I can attend (it's 10 miles down the road). I'm planning on making a donation to his campaign...whether or not I decide to support him. I think it's terrific when cadidates take the time to do these small intimate gatherings, and I want to make sure they know that it's appreciated.
