The Front Runner

Things I like about Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware:

1) He is both funny and fierce. Biden was a highlight of the early presidential debates.

2) He is sharp on foreign affairs. Biden not only knows what he is talking about, he knows that he knows. There is no stumbling over words or struggling for answers. Of all the candidates running this time around, across both parties, Biden gave the answers that most made sense when the topic was the rest of the world.

3) He is familiar. Joe, it seems, has been running for president almost as long as I have been alive. Familiarity sometimes breeds contempt, but not on this occasion. Joe grows on you.

4) He is not Hillary Clinton. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
