It's worth reading the whole thing but part is

"Did you, for example, ever know a single fact about Joe Biden’s health care plan? Anything at all? But let me guess, you know Barack Obama’s bowling score. We are choosing a president, the next leader of the free world. We are not buying soap, and we are not choosing a court clerk with primarily administrative duties.

What’s more, the news media cut candidates like Joe Biden out of the process even before they got started. Just to be clear: I’m not talking about my husband. I’m referring to other worthy Democratic contenders. Few people even had the chance to find out about Joe Biden’s health care plan before he was literally forced from the race by the news blackout that depressed his poll numbers, which in turn depressed his fund-raising.

And it’s not as if people didn’t want this information. In focus groups that I attended or followed after debates, Joe Biden would regularly be the object of praise and interest: “I want to know more about Senator Biden,” participants would say. "

4. WOW!!!!!

Thank you for posting this. I am so impressed with what I read.

It's nice to see someone out there trying to fight the good fight. This election is disenfranchising me more by the day. This is a heads up!!

Nice to know there were many others who wanted to know more about Joe.

Actually telling another candidate's wife that they were interested in Joe!

Sigh.

8. I agree --

I contacted much better with her than I did with John (which was not at all).
