Sen. Biden on Face the Nation again

Link
Senator Joe Biden will be on Face the Nation tomorrow and as one of the most scholarly of the Senators when it comes to the Constitution, he will be asked about Harriet Miers expected testimony before the Judiciary Committee and whether he sees her as qualified for the job. I am interested to see how the Senator honestly answers these questions put before him. Since he has shown interest in running for President in 2008, I will be looking at the decisiveness of his answers and the merits of his positions, just as he will certainly be looking at Harriett Miers answers before the Senate. I have been a supporter of Biden's views over the past few years but now I must look at him as a Presidential hopeful and the bar must certainly be raised to examine him from a fresh perspective. Tomorrow will be a help.

Sen. Biden can at times be arrogant and egotistical. These are his two main problems to overcome if he wants to be seriously considered in 2008. His wit is brilliant and he makes good common sense most of the time. He has really tried to help this President in Iraq. He ideas have been sound and not the typical grenade launching many Democrats have done to Bush and his team's Iraq policy.

The only thing that I would love to see Senator Biden do is to get a personal coach that could help him with his two personality problems. Heck, I might even be willing to do the job since I coached many a CEO of Fortune 500 companies before retiring a few years ago. He is going to need someone.

UPDATE: Sunday Oct. 16, 2005

There were no real difficult questions for Senator Biden to answer this morning, but he and Senator Chuck Hagel agreed on most everything on Iraq. Regarding Supreme Court nominee Harriett Miers, Biden thought the President was groping for something to give the Repuiblicans that oppose Miers and that is why the President focused on Miers religious convictions. Not much news here.
