Joe Biden: Will Seek Presidency
Plagiarizing Joe Biden, Democrat Senator from Delaware will seek the Presidency. This announcement on CBS’s Face the Nation is almost two decades after he dropped out of the presidential race amid charges he plagiarized a British politician’s speech.
Biden campaigned for the 1988 Democratic nomination but withdrew early in the race after charges he plagiarized parts of a speech by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock and exaggerated his academic record.
My intention now is to seek the nomination,” Biden, of Delaware, said on CBS television’s “Face the Nation.” He said he would explore his support and decide by the end of this year — a sign the race may get off to an early and competitive start.
“If in fact I think I have a clear shot at winning the nomination, by this November or December, then I’m going to seek the nomination,” he said.
Biden is the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a frequent critic of
President Bush’s Iraq policy.Have at him Hillary!

Hillary Clinton: Helping Her Extreme Makeover
This image is from yesterday, and the whirlwind media tour surrounding the Frist-Clinton health information technology bill. It’s safe to say that this is the first time in a long time the Today show has covered the intricacies of health care IT.
“Hillary Teams Up with Top Republican” is no longer breaking news. In fact, it’ll soon sound like a broken record. A visit to Hillary Clinton’s Senate news room reveals something that was becoming anecdotally obvious: Hillary is in the process of smothering her image as a shrill and divisive partisan by hitching her wagon to any Republican Senator she can find. It’s not just Frist-Clinton. In the last twenty three days, we’ve had news of Voinovich-Clinton. And Graham-Clinton. And Brownback-Clinton. And Thune-Clinton. That’s an average of one major bipartisan initiative every four days. In all of 2004, Hillary Clinton issued a release in conjunction with a Republican Senator four times, or once every ninety-one days. And in case there any doubt about she’s up to, Hillary’s press office has issued a total of 232 releases so far in 2005 and 494 in 2004 — a staggering output even for the most grizzled veterans of national politics.
Republicans need to back off here and leave her alone with her legislative initiatives.
We don’t need to help her “seem moderate”.
She isn’t.
So, why are these Republican Senators helping her?

Hillary Clinton: Wins South Carolina Straw Poll
Hillary Clinton is now the official front runner for the Democrat presidential nomination. On Wednesday the Richland County Democrats held the nation’s first straw poll for the 2008 presidential race and the surprise winner was U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.
Clinton’s victory at the sparesely attended event was a mild upset. Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, a native South Carolinian and last year’s Democratic vice presidential candidate, had been considered the favorite.
Clinton got 44 votes to 34 for Edwards. Virginia Gov. John Warner came in third with 32 votes and U.S. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware got 24 votes.
Everyone else scored in the single digits.
The straw poll was conducted by the Democratic Party of Richland County, the most Democratic county in South Carolina and the state’s second-most populous.
Fancy that and Flap thought she was just running for re-election to the U.S. Senate
