Well, it's not as much of a stretch as it sounds. No, she won't actually be stumping for Biden, but her big, well-publicized entrance into this primary further heightens the circus like quality that is taking hold. Obama has Oprah in his corner, queen of daytime tv. Hillary has hubby Bill and now Babs. And while Hillary and Obama are taking swipes at each other, the Republicans are just going nuts. Now it's looking like Giuliani had been visiting his mistress complements of the tax payer. That should go over good with Republican church goers who hate paying taxes. Edwards, the millionaire trial lawyer, is now the working man's candidate. Oh, and Kucinich has fairy godmother,Shirley McClain, helping him out by writing about his run-in with a flying saucer. Thanks, Shirley.

This would all be great fun if so many people's lives weren't at stake. But there are lives at stake and our nation's future is on the line. I think a lot of people are failing to be amused by the current pea shooting free-for-all that's taking place and are looking for alternatives. Joe Biden is increasingly being seen as the serious alternative, because these are serious times for our country. There is a buzz going round in Iowa and it ain't the latest edition of Billarygate.
