[Joe Biden 2020]

CNN.com is also reporting that Hagel is calling it quits when term ends.

He said he will make his decision formal on Monday, but this is what he's going to do.  This is the second Republican in just 10 days to retire.  Remember, Sen. John Warner of Virginia announced his retirement plans on August 31.

I agree with Boris, lets not waste this opportunity.  Schumer has a seemingly limitless bank account, so he might very well poke some cash into Bob Kerrey's campaign should he decide to run. 

Even though I'm a Bush supporter, I'm still wanting the Democrats to increase their majority and am still supporting a Democrat, John Edwards, for the Presidency.

Um . . . why?

As much as I support the mission in Iraq, I want the war to come to an end, so thats why I'm supporting John Edwards.  I will probably support the Democratic nominee whoever that is, unless it is Barack Obama.  With him, I will vote for the Republican candidate.

What's your beef with Obama?

He just creeps me out for some reason, to be quite honest.  I can't place my finger on it, but he just gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Some points about Obama:

After he finished his tenure as the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, he turned down  several high-paying corporate jobs to work as a community organizer in the roughest neighborhoods of inner-city Chicago.

He was a bipartisan leader in the legislature who helped reform Illinois broken capital punishment system.  He's worked to strengthen oversight of pork barrel spending projects and reign in the influence of the K Street crowd. I hope you'll take a look at his character before you judge him harshly.

I wasn't aware of those things.  I won't judge him until we get closer to time.  I would be comfortable with an Obama administration, but I just may not vote for him.  Its like in 2004, I voted for Kerry but felt comfortable with a Bush administration.

Because he is black?

Not in the least.   It has NOTHING to do with his race.
