I wanted to take a few minutes and pass along some of the great coverage that Senator Biden has received recently. Even in a race of celebrity candidates, Joe Biden is moving up. This nomination will be won by the candidate that looks voters in the eye, shares his/her story, and is straight with the American about what we have to do to restore our place in the world.
And Joe Biden is doing just that on the campaign trail at every opportunity. Dave Nagle, a former Iowa congressman and state party chairman, says Biden is emerging as an alternative to the perceived front-runners. "He is gaining traction," said the uncommitted Nagle in a Boston Globe column. Click here to read the full piece by Scot Lehigh.
Senator Biden knows that voters want a candidate with substance that is able to tackle the most serious issues with honesty and candor. Check out these latest clips of Senator Biden's work on the campaign trail. There's no doubt, there's something going on in Iowa.
Thanks for all your support,

Biden for President
Last Friday, Joe Biden was joined by Sam Brownback in Des Moines to discuss his plan for Iraq, which gained an overwhelming majority of support in the United States Senate when Senator Biden's amendment promoting federalism in Iraq passed 75-23 - including 26 Republicans. MSNBC's Carrie Dan was able to describe the scene:
"Three local camera crews, plus a three-man team and a live satellite truck sent by CNN, made the room look like Britney's booking compared to a typical event for a candidate whose name isn't Barack, Hillary, or Rudy." Click here to read the full article.
CNN and NBC's local Des Moines affiliate were also there to capture the important moment of bipartisan leadership in the history of the Iowa Caucus. Click on the images to the right to see Senators Biden and Brownback discussing a real political solution to bring this war to a responsible conclusion.
Even though he manages a demanding Senate schedule as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Biden is hitting the campaign trail as often as possible as we get closer and closer to the Iowa Caucus.
And Iowans are starting to take notice.
When asked by Chris Matthews about the election, respected columnist David Yepsen from the Des Moines Register said that Joe Biden would make a surprise showing in January:
"I think Joe Biden will do better than expected in the Iowa Caucuses...I think he'll compete for [a top 3 position]."
Iowa House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy recently discussed the importance of a strong ground operation in Iowa, citing a growing momentum of support for Joe Biden that is building the infrastructure that is critical to a strong showing in Iowa.
A key component of that infrastructure is the solid support that Joe Biden has received from Iowa state legislators. The Biden for President Campaign announced just last week the eleventh legislative endorsement, Iraq war veteran McKinley Bailey.
"After returning from serving in Iraq, I quickly grew frustrated by my impression that leaders in both political parties did not understand the fundamental challenges to ending the war in Iraq. When I first learned of Sen. Biden's plan, I realized that was the ticket - a political solution, not a military one. I am endorsing him because from day one, our next president must make decisions on the direction in Iraq and I am convinced Senator Biden has the knowledge and experience to bring our troops home without leaving a situation that requires another generation of Americans to return in a decade."

I am impressed with his leadership on the Iraq problem we are faced with, his plan for making three "states" with a federal government seems to be gaining traction among Congress and the administration and Secretary of State, until someone can come up with a better one, I am proud of his leadership in trying to get our troops out of Iraq sooner rather than later....Sphere: Related Content
