There are two things I don't like about Beau Biden.

1.) His last name is Biden.

2.) He came to campus when I was a sophomore to give a talk. He came across as the most insincere, automated politician I have ever heard speak. He got asked a couple of tough questions by those in attendance, and completely deflected each and every one of them. It was pathetic.

Even if his dad is a douchbag with a big mouth, at least he is sincere in what he says and what he stands for. Obviously that quality didn't get passed down through the gene pool. 

I am disinclined to vote for someone that comes from a politically powerful family.  Whether their last name is Bush or Biden, I think American politics and both parties have become dominated by those that have inside connections to the powerful and wealthy.  Beau Biden will likely win solely because of his father's name and prestige.  Elections seem less about a candidate's expertise or position on key issues and more about name recognition, party affiliation and personality.

When I see polls like "Which presidential candidate would you like to have a beer with?" I wonder if the modern electorate is still capable of choosing the best person for the job.

I only know the Bidens by what I see on the national media and Delaware doesn't draw much press here in the Midwest.  At least Biden served in the military so he has some idea of what service actually means.
