Not a Biden Fan

By Ann Bartow

Like this blogger, I remember how he treated Anita Hill. I remember the plagiarism, which may have started when he was in law school. Worst of all, however, is his support for a bankruptcy regime that enriches large corporations at the expense of working class people, (see also) hitting women particularly hard.

I expect I’m still going to vote for Obama, but I feel far less connected to his vision for this country. Good link roundup on Biden here.

ETA: Looks like I’m far from the only underwhelmed woman Dem.

The NYT offers analysis and links to clips of the Biden at the Thomas confirmation hearings here.
