BIDEN picks up 14th endorsement in Iowa!!

Biden is in the top tier in endorsements - they love him in Iowa!

Nov. 21: Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Joe Biden received his 14th political endorsement from an Iowa legislator this morning, Iowa State Rep. Bruce Hunter of Des Moines.



“We know Joe Biden has it all together on foreign policy, education and social values,” Rep. Hunter remarked, “but what really turned the trick for me was his humility. When you talk with him, you see how much he really cares about this country and about our future.”

Sen. Biden commented, “Over his three terms in the House, Rep. Hunter has worked tirelessly on behalf of the working men and women in Iowa. He knows, as I do, the importance of restoring and protecting the American middle class, and I am proud that he has pledged his support to my campaign.”

Rep. Hunter represents Iowa District 62 (Des Moines) and is the Chairperson of the Administration and Regulation Appropriations subcommittee. In addition he serves as a member of the Appropriations, Human Resources, Labor and Public Safety Committees.

2. BIDEN picks up 14th endorsement in Iowa
Hope it leads to his nomination. We need the votes of male independent voters. Many are turned off by Hillary, and Barack, while very intelligent, seems inexperince. He can run again in 2016.

6. "Humility" Damn, that is a rarity
Add that to all the other issues that Biden is well versed in makes him an excellent choice to be our next president. Iowans seem to know this.

12. Can't you just see the major mouth pieces trying to figure
out how THEY could have been so wrong. Have we ever seen a campaign season where the pundits have sectioned off the candidates they believe will win from the also running.

20. Biden has the best chance of winning the general among the Dem candidates.
He has a very clean and compelling life story; he is stronger on foreign policy and national security than any of the Republicans; and he's worked on too many bills with Republicans for them to paint him as a left wing radical. He's smart and quick on his feet, and would be a very tough opponent in the debates. He's tough and he's a straight shooter. He's the Democrats' best shot.
