To this day I regret I couldn't come up with a way to give her the kind of hearing she deserved,"

Dodd, Biden drop out after Iowa defeat, 3 Jan 2008
Neither mustered more than 1 percent in the intensely competitive contest won by freshman Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
[...]
Biden was the most promising of the second-tier candidates, in large part because of his [1] extensive national security experience, his chairmanship of the [2] Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his [3] realist view of the Iraq war.

"Creepy Joe Biden" is the first search suggestion I get for "creepy". I don't think it's going swimmingly for him this time either.

House Democratic women flex muscles with formal caucus, plus a political arm
"For now, the women's caucus will not charge dues. It will be informally staffed by aides from the leadership members' offices -- another reason why having three co-chairs makes sense, Frankel said."

One of the few things that does disturb him about the school is that its students are no longer expected to serve in the military. (In an extreme conservative tone, he suggests there was no excuse for a student like him not to voluntarily join the armed forces.)
