		<description>No kidding! (And thanks for the comment, Chuck. I chose not to delete Stew&#039;s comment just so people could see it for themselves.)

Stew: You don&#039;t actually work for the campaign, do you? Did they tell you to copy and paste off-topic, press release-style comments onto blogs, or was that your idea? Seriously, I&#039;d like to know.

If you are a real person, and you do work for Biden&#039;s campaign, you should all be sure to listen to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.grokdotcom.com/2007/12/17/seth-godin-interview/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;today&#039;s podcast&lt;/a&gt; 

or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.grokdotcom.com/2007/07/05/grokcast-david-meerman-scott-on-the-new-rules-of-marketing-pr-part-1/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;

You might learn a thing or two about how to use new media effectively.</description>

		<description>&quot;...Joe Biden is now the third best bet for the nomination. I&#039;m hearing a lot of buzz about him from people who pay attention.&quot;

Please join us for this INCREDIBLE opportunity. If you would like to find out more information, please e-mail our campaign: [deleted*] or [deleted*] with the subject line: IOWA. You may also call the campaign at (302) DEL-ETED*!

Thank you and we hope to see you

&lt;em&gt;[*Editor&#039;s Note: The Biden campaign has informed us that this message was copy/pasted from an opt-in campaign email by an overzealous supporter. They do not condone this person spamming us, and have asked that we remove the names and phone number, as they were intended to reach only a closed list of Biden campaign supporters.]&lt;/em&gt;</description>
