Talk:Joe Biden 2008 presidential campaign

Bias in citation?

Hey, I just noticed that quite a few this article's citations are from a website run by him.Thought I'd point it out. 70.136.85.95 (talk) 04:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

That's because editors keep adding non-Notable endorsements using the campaign website as the source.--STX 04:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Tone on Realistic Plan for Iraq

"Arguably the most important issue for the upcoming election will be the Conflict in Iraq. Biden, unlike most candidates actually has a plan on this issue. He has established a five point plan on how to end the violence and get the American troops home:" The tone here strikes me as more commentarial than encyclopedic. --Evil1987 19:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed it, sorry about that.--Southern Texas 03:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup, July 2007

I tagged this article with {{cleanup}}. It looks like the section & subsection titles need reformatting for capitalization and to remove boldface. Also, maybe a more experienced editor than myself could weigh in on the lists under Campaign focuses and Plan for Iraq. --Evil1987 14:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and fixed the capitalization (to the best of my knowledge) in the section and subsection headings. Apparently the boldface in the subsection headings is Wikipedia's, sorry for pointing that out in error; I don't know why it looked odd to me. --Evil1987 14:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Campaign Advisors

I know that it isn't common to include a section on campaign staff/advisors, but I think that in the light of recent developments (ie: Carl Rove, Harriet Miers, Michael Brown etc.) there is a growing concern over a candidate's ability to choose staffmembers. Some of these advisors are potential cabinet members should the candidate be elected. I am proposing the inclusion of prominent staff/advisors (and a short bio) to all candidates' campaign entries in order to help voters better understand each candidates' ability to judge character. I believe that attention is inordinately focussed on individual candidates, when in fact, the major influence on any new administration will be in the advisors surrounding the new president. Your input would be greatly appreciated. ----Rawkcuf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rawkcuf (talk • contribs) 04:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Campaign Advisors

The article incorrectly states the campaign manager and press secretary for the Biden campaign. I tried to remove the incorrect information, but my change was reverted. I believe these errors might be due to the following CNN webpage. However, according to the Hotline and GWU's Democracy in Action, Luis Navarro was Biden's campaign manager. Democracy in Action also lists Mark Paustenbach as the Biden press secretary, not Alice Stewart. Additionally, it is well documented that Chip Saltsman is a Republican political operative who worked for Governor Mike Huckabee during the 2008 cycle. Newwiki33 (talk) 22:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting that and I apologize for my revert.--William Saturn (talk) 22:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I've added footnote cites for these, per the above. Someone must have pranked the article back when, thanks for catching it. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:38, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
