An Open Letter to Joe Biden
Posted By: Jayne Lyn Stahl

 



Welcome, Joe. You have my vote, and have had it for years now---big fan here.

Do me a favor, though. Please make the focus of your campaign the economy, and not foreign policy. More people are concerned about losing their homes than losing their freedom.   How many people take to the streets over the notion of a unitary executive, Supreme Court appointments, or even  having their phone calls, and e-mails, monitored by the NSA?

So, please, whatever you do, try and let the other party trip over their potential foreign policy blunders. See to it that the economy is the core issue as, at the moment, it is about the only thing that distinguishes Democrats from Republicans.

We wouldn't want Obama/Biden to be McCain lite.
