I'm a big Biden supporter. Sure, that's not a particularly popular position with the netroots - it's much easier for me when I talk about how I gave Ned Lamont $50, how I ran for County Commissioner on liberal values, or how I gave Larry Kissell a few months of my life.

But I like Joe Biden, in spite of his flaws. I interned for him a few years ago, and he was always honest when he talked to me - which was quite often. In addition to having personal courage - I'm sure all of you know the tragic story about his first wife and his daughter - he's a man who fights smart fights, like when he came close to making the Iraq War and eventual occupation much less of a disaster. He's never been in the DLC (double-check your source if you're thinking about debating that), and that means a lot to me. And there was one moment while I was working for him that completely sealed the deal. But then there was the Obama thing ...
