...tour of the state, gives Edwards 29% of the vote, five points ahead of Hillary Clinton and seven ahead of Barack Obama. This latest TIME Poll of 519 likely Iowa Democratic caucus goers finds that, among the so-called "second-tier" candidates, Bill Richardson has 11%, with Joe Biden at 5%, Dennis Kucinich with 2%, and Chris Dodd at 1%. (The Poll was conducted August 22 ? 25, 2007. The margin of error is approximately +/- 5 percentage points...
...Democratic Senator Joe Biden is so far the only presidential candidate to directly rebut Giuliani's claim that he knows more about terrorism and foreign policy. "Give me a break," says Biden, who has served on the Senate Foreign Relations committee for 32 years and has been to Iraq seven times. "I'm more qualified than him by a mile." He calls Giuliani a "semidemagogue" on terrorism and criticizes him for mischaracterizing the threat. "I think he gets away with this because the most catastrophic event in modern American history saw him at the base of a building demonstrating some...
...YouTube debate with the Democratic candidates, heralded as an almost life-changing event for American voters, had its rough moments (the puppet snowman, the man with a gun for a baby), and even those on stage complained (Joe Biden referred to it at one point as a "ridiculous exercise").

...this, sadly, is Biden's substantive liability. Democrats want to hear only one sentence about Iraq: I'll get out as soon as possible. They're not so interested in the nuances of partition plans and mine-resistant vehicles. They are, as always, besotted with domesticity. Their iconic voter is Michelle Griffin, in tears over health insurance, and, yes, it is time we did something about that. But Biden's message-that foreign policy is complicated, that Iraq and its consequences can't just be wished away, that a supple alternative to Republican overseas bullying must be found...
...Then again, Biden's Durham awkwardness may have been caused by the way his hostess, state representative Marjorie Smith, introduced him. She asked him to talk not about foreign policy but about "some of the other issues in this campaign, like health care and global warming." And while Biden can talk with some authority and insight about almost any issue, it is Iraq that is consuming him. At his next house party, he devoted his entire speech-a far more focused effort-to the war. It was something I hadn't seen this year; most candidates, in both parties...
